#Asia-Pacific #stocks#Australia #NewZealand #Japan #China#HongKo
China stocks drifted with no clear direction Monday, as losses in tech shares amid Beijing’s deepening anti-monopoly War offset gains in energy and healthcare companies.
The blue-chip CSI300 index fell 0.1% to 4,992.42, but the Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.3% to finish at 3,427.99
Japanese shares gained Monday, as a strong finish last week on Wall Street boosted risk appetite.
The Nikkei share average rose 0.55% to close at 29,518.34, while the broader TOPIX rose 0.99% to finish at 1,952.27.
Australian shares rose to record closing highs Monday, led by a rally in miners on strong commodity prices.
The S&P/ASX 200 index climbed 1.3% to finish at 7,172.8. New Zealand’s benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index closed 0.5% lower to 12,659.01.
