President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy reached an agreement to lift the US debt ceiling, bringing relief to Asian markets
The agreement suspends the debt ceiling until January 1, 2025, and includes some curbs on federal spending
Market sentiment improved with the news, leading to positive movements in Wall Street and Asian markets
However, concerns persist as the agreement may face opposition from Democrats and Republicans

The compromise agreement falls short of substantial spending cuts desired by conservatives and progressives
