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.

Asian stocks fell after the regional equity gauge posted its steepest quarterly advance since 2013. Material and consumer shares led declines.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index slid 0.3 per cent to 145.85 as of 9.01 am in Tokyo. The measure on Tuesday completed its best quarter since the period ended September 2013, rising 6.1 per cent, as China boosted stimulus. Valuations on the gauge rose last week to the highest since May 2010.
"This is going to be a tougher quarter and you can expect higher volatility," said Nader Naeimi, who helps manage about US$118 billion as Sydney-based head of dynamic asset allocation at AMP Capital Investors Ltd. "We have raised cash levels and now have less in equities than in the past year. You need to have some powder dry to buy into the market if we have a correction." Japan's Topix index slipped 0.3 per cent. The quarterly Tankan index for large manufacturers held at 12 in March, the Bank of Japan said today, missing the median estimate of economists for a reading of 14. A positive number means optimists outnumber pessimists.

Asian markets wound back on Thursday, in line with a hefty sell-off on Wall Street, after surprisingly weak US data hinted at ongoing weakness in the world's number one economy.

Oil prices also enjoyed support from concerns about unrest in the crude-rich Middle East following news that Saudi Arabian jets had struck rebel positions in neighbouring Yemen.
In early trade Tokyo sank 1.56 per cent from a 15-year high, while Sydney lost 1.30 per cent, Seoul shed 0.74 per cent, Hong Kong shed 0.30 per cent and Shanghai slipped 0.55 per cent.

Asian markets mostly retreated on Friday as investors took their cash off the table after the previous day's rally that was fuelled by the Federal Reserve's dovish interest rate outlook.
The dollar was slightly lower against the euro and yen, but analysts said they expect the currency to resume its advance as the Fed prepares for a rate hike while the Japanese and European central banks print more cash.
Providing support to the euro on Friday was news that Greece has agreed to give creditors a new list of reforms within days in order to secure bailout funds.
Tokyo dipped 0.17 per cent, Hong Kong lost 0.21 per cent and Seoul gave back 0.21 per cent, while Sydney was flat but Shanghai gained 0.17 per cent.

Asian markets were largely flat in morning trade Friday after the dollar firmed on US inflation data, while disappointing Japanese figures challenged Tokyo's war on falling prices.
Japanese inflation slowed for a sixth straight month in January - dampened by weak consumer spending and falling energy prices - its lowest level since Tokyo launched an offensive on falling prices and tepid growth nearly two years ago.
Tokyo ticked up 0.07 per cent, Hong Kong added 0.54 per cent and Shanghai edged down 0.08 percent. Seoul slipped 0.12 per cent while Sydney was up 0.37 per cent and Wellington added 0.08 per cent. Markets in Taiwan were closed for a public holiday.

Asian stocks broadly rose Wednesday after US Federal Reserve chief Janet Yellen damped speculation of a rate hike before summer, and as eurozone finance ministers backed Greek reforms critical to avoiding a disastrous default.
The regional uptrend tracked fresh record highs on Wall Street and in Europe as investors breathed a cautious sigh of relief over the Greek package, which gives Athens a lifeline to pay its bills - for now - and sidestep an almost certain exit from the eurozone.
"The two potential international risk events for markets had positive outcomes," said Ric Spooner, chief market analyst at CMC Markets in Sydney.
"Janet Yellen's testimony moved expectations for a rate hike out in time while the boxes were ticked to cement a four-month funding programme for Greece." Tokyo edged up 0.14 per cent at the open, Sydney rose 0.28 per cent, Seoul jumped 0.74 per cent, while Wellington rallied 1.46 per cent.
