•         Asian shares edged up on Monday on optimism for global growth, while the dollar was on the defensive as a subdued U.S. inflation outlook capped U.S. bond yields and raised questions about the Federal Reserve's plans to tighten policy.

MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan .MIAPJ0000PUS ticked up 0.4 percent as tech counters led gains in Korean .KS11 and Taiwanese .TWII shares to record highs and 27-year highs respectively.

•         Japan's Nikkei share average ticked up on Monday, clinging near two-year high hit last week, on positive views of the global economy, though turnover was at the lowest level in more than two months.

The Nikkei rose 0.1 percent to 20,153.35, with the psychologically important 20,000 mark seen as immediate support. On June 20, the index hit 20,318.

•         China's blue-chip index closed at its highest in over a year on Monday, boosted by news of index provider MSCI saying it could substantially raise the future weighting of China 'A' shares in its emerging markets benchmark.

The blue-chip CSI300 index rose 1.3 percent, to 3,668.09 points, while the Shanghai Composite Index ticked up 0.9 percent to 3,185.44 points.
