Asian shares fell on Monday and the dollar climbed after a robust US jobs report dashed any expectations of a near-term interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve, while stocks in China remained on the back foot on weak sentiment.

The Nikkei index was trading 0.7% lower, while Hang Seng was trading 0.6% lower. Meanwhile Shanghai index is trading 1.9% lower.

US stocks ended sharply higher on Friday and the S&P 500 registered an all-time closing high as strong earnings and a blowout January employment report boosted confidence in the economy, even while lowering the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates any time soon.

Here's a table showing how US stocks performed on Friday:

Paytm Denies ED Probe

One97 Communications, the parent arm of payments solutions firm Paytm, on 4 February clarified that the company or its related entities are not facing any investigation from the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

The clarification came a day after reports said that the federal financial crime-fighting agency could initiate an investigation against Paytm Payments Bank, the banking arm of Paytm if charges related to money laundering are found.

The company categorically denies any investigation by the Enforcement Directorate on OCL (One97 Communications Ltd), our associates and/or its Founder and CEO for anti-money laundering activities.

A day earlier, news agency Reuters, which spoke to Revenue Secretary Sanjay Malhotra, reported that the ED may probe Paytm Payments Bank if if any fresh charges of fund siphoning are found.

Notably, the RBI on January 31 directed Paytm Payments Bank to stop accepting fresh deposits and making credit transactions from 29 February onwards. The lender would also be barred from accepting top-ups in any customer accounts, including prepaid instruments, wallets, FASTags, and NCMC cards among others.

The RBI's action against Paytm Payments Bank was taken following reports of non-compliance and supervisory concerns.

The central bank said a Comprehensive System Audit report and subsequent compliance validation report by the external auditors revealed persistent non-compliance and continued material supervisory concerns in the bank, warranting further supervisory action.

SIAC Rejects Sony's Plea

The Singapore International Arbitration Centre, on Sunday, rejected the emergency arbitration petition filed by Japanese major Sony against Zee Entertainment Enterprises over their failed merger, citing lack of jurisdiction.

Sony Pictures Networks India had filed the petition against Zee Entertainment after terminating their merger that would have created a US$ 10 billion entertainment giant with 25% of the market share among the general entertainment channels.

A Zee spokesperson declined to comment on Sunday while an email sent to Sony Pictures Networks did not elicit any comments.

The litigation between Zee and Sony started after Sony sought $90 million as termination fees from Zee, saying it did not comply with several pre-conditions set in the merger agreement. Zee denied Sony's allegations and made counterclaims against the Japanese firm at the SIAC.

A parallel litigation was also initiated in the National Company Law Tribunal in Mumbai by a Zee shareholder. The NCLT has given three weeks to both Zee and Sony to file their replies. The matter will be heard next month.
