Stocks Rise After Dip-Buyers Fuel US Rally; Mitsubishi UFJ Financial's Kamezawa

Stocks in Japan, Australia and South Korea all gained and the broader MSCI Asia Pacific Index rose 0.4%. Oil steadied after a three-day drop as investors weighed risks to Russian supplies, with US President Donald Trump stepping up his threat to penalize India for buying Moscow's crude.
