Asian shares experienced a downward trend on Friday, reflecting investor apprehension over ongoing tariff uncertainties and the upcoming U.S. jobs report. Tokyo's benchmark index faced a notable decline, shedding more than $2 following a significant sell-off on Wall Street. This downturn in Asia comes as global markets react to fluctuating economic signals and trade tensions.

In the cryptocurrency arena, Bitcoin was trading near $88,000, marking a significant moment in its evolution towards mainstream acceptance.
