Asian shares climb on US-China trade optimism, oil prices slip

Asian shares rose on optimism surrounding US-China talks on trade and artificial intelligence, while oil prices fell, according to The Guardian's business live coverage.

The talks in New York come ahead of a planned summit later in the week between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, the report said.

The Guardian noted that US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng had already laid groundwork for the meeting, with trade, investment and AI on the agenda.
