Asian equity markets rose on the first trading day of the
week following a strong lead from Wall Street on Friday while investors
shrugged off weak economic data from Japan.
China's Shanghai Composite jumped 0.24 percent or 5 points
at 2,120.85.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng gained 1.06 percent or 235.48 points
at 22,533.89.
Japan's Nikkei rose 0.56 percent or 80.14 points at
14,393.17.
Singapore's Straits Times added 0.64 percent or 19.52 points
at 3,058.23.

points at 1,946.76.
The Nikkei slipped 0.4 percent as the US dollar a third of a
yen to 101.47. A stronger yen is viewed as negative for Japanese exports and
corporate profits, and often prompts knee-jerk selling in shares.
