• Japanese stocks fell to a fresh 3-1/2-month low on Monday as global investors remained cautious amid worries over whether the Trump administration will be able to implement growth boosting measures.

The Nikkei ended down 0.4 percent at 19,393.13 points, its lowest closing level since May 1.

• China stocks rose on Monday, buoyed by strong gains in telecoms group China Unicom after the country's securities regulator granted special dispensation to its $11.7 billion ownership reform plan.

The blue-chip CSI300 index ended up 0.4 percent at 3,740.99 points, while the Shanghai Composite Index gained 0.6 percent to 3,286.91.

• Thailand's economy capped a solid performance for Southeast Asia in the second quarter, growing at its fastest clip in over four years thanks to strong exports - a common denominator for many countries still struggling to boost private consumption despite ultra-low interest rates.

Thailand's gross domestic product (GDP) grew a seasonally adjusted 1.3 percent in the June quarter from the first, the National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB) said on Monday, faster than the 1.0 percent forecast in a Reuters poll and matched the March quarter's pace.
