    Australia’s rose 0.1% ahead of key inflation data due later this week. South Korea’s added 0.6% as heavyweight technology stocks awaited more cues on the artificial intelligence trade. 

    Chinese markets lagged, with the and indexes moving in a flat-to-low range. data from the country is due this week, coming at the heels of several stimulus measures outlined by Beijing over the past month.

    Hong Kong’s index traded sideways.
