World stocks climb, U.S. economic data and tech earnings on deck, as Japan's ruling party loses parliamentary majority.

World shares have mostly risen following three consecutive winning weeks on Wall Street. Japan's ruling party lost its majority in both houses of parliament, potentially increasing government spending and adding to the country's debt. Chinese shares advanced after the central bank maintained interest rates, and South Korea's Kospi rose after a slight improvement in exports. The U.S. will see updates on home sales, jobless claims, and manufacturing, alongside earnings reports from major tech firms.
