Japanese shares rose Monday, snapping a 3-day losing streak, as optimism on economic recovery from the virus chaos prompted fresh buying in materials, travel-related and other cheap cyclical stocks.

Nikkei share average rose 0.46% at 30,156.03, while the broader TOPIX gained 0.49% at 1,938.35.

 Australian shares closed a bit lower Monday as losses in healthcare and tech stocks outweighed gains in miners.

The S&P/ASX 200 index closed 0.19% lower to 6,780.9. New Zealand’s benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index fell 1% to 12,426.2.
