Asian stocks started the week with gains ahead of central bank policy meetings in the United States and Japan, after a broad rally on Wall Street that capped a tumultuous week. Japan's Nikkei 225 index jumped 2.1%. U.S. futures and oil prices rose. On Friday, the S&P 500 rose 1.1% for its best day in seven weeks.

“In a monumental week for macro watchers, everyone is hoping for calm while bracing for the inevitable storm of volatility,” Stephen Innes of SPI Asset Management said in a commentary. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng added 1.6% to 17,287.28 and the Shanghai Composite index rose 0.4% to 2,893.08 after official data on Saturday showed that industrial profits rose 3.5% in the first half of 2024 compared with last year. That was a glimmer of positive news following recent interest rate cuts and other piecemeal stimulus that followed a top-level policy meeting of the ruling Communist Party earlier this month.
