Asian share markets took a breather today after last week's sweeping rally as a top US central banker warned investors against getting carried away over one inflation number.

The Nikkei is down 0.8% while the Shanghai Composite is up 0.8%. The Hang Seng is the biggest gainer, up 2.9%

In US stock markets, Wall Street indices rose for the second day on Friday and notched strong weekly gains as data showed a lesser than anticipated rise in inflation last month.

This strengthened prospects for a slowdown in the pace of rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. Technology stocks were among the top gainers.

The Dow Jones rose 0.1% while the tech heavy Nasdaq rallied 1.9%.

Here's a table showing how the top US tech stocks ended on Friday.

The insurer recognised a gain due to changes in its accounting policy.

In the April to June quarter, the insurance giant had reported a net profit of Rs 6.8 bn.

LIC's net premium income improved to Rs 1.3 tn in the reporting quarter, up 27% from Rs 1 tn in the year-ago period. The net income from investments jumped 10% YoY to Rs 841 bn.

The first-year premium, an indication of business growth, was at Rs 91.2 bn, up 11% for the quarter compared with Rs 82 bn a year ago.

The renewal premium rose 2% to Rs 561.6 bn while single premium soared 62% to Rs 669 bn.

LIC's gross non-performing assets (NPA) for the September quarter came at Rs 261.1 bn, as against Rs 266.2 bn a quarter ago, and Rs 289.3 bn a year ago.

The gross NPA ratio was down to 5.6% at the end of Q2 from 5.8% in Q1, and 6.6% a year ago.
