Asian shares rose and the dollar dropped on Monday, after a dismal US jobs report pushed up US Treasury yields as investors pared bets the US Federal Reserve would hike interest rates anytime soon.
Labor Department data showed US employers added the fewest jobs in more than a year in March. The rise of 126,000 jobs was well below expectations for a gain of 245,000, according to a Reuters poll of economists.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan added 0.6 per cent to its highest level since September 2014. But Japan's Nikkei stock average slumped 1 percent shortly after the open, as a resurgent yen deflated shares of exporters.
US stocks were closed on Friday for the Easter holiday, but US stock futures fell after the jobs data, indicating a lower open for stocks later on Monday. US S&P e-mini equity futures were thinly traded in Asian time, and down 0.8 per cent after shedding 1 percent on Friday.
