Asian stocks experienced a mixed performance on Monday following President Joe Biden's decision to exit the 2024 presidential race. The week began on a downbeat note after Wall Street recorded losses on Friday due to disruptions caused by a massive technology outage affecting businesses worldwide.
U.S. futures remained relatively stable, while oil prices saw a slight increase. Biden's announcement of his withdrawal from the race and endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris added to uncertainties surrounding the world's largest economy.
