Asian share markets saw a slight rise on Monday, driven by a strong performance in Hong Kong's tech sector and encouraging Japanese GDP growth, contrasting with disappointing U.S. retail sales figures that weakened the dollar. The potential for U.S. tariffs and geopolitical tensions, particularly regarding the Russia-Ukraine talks, remain critical concerns for investors. The yen appreciated to 151.80 per dollar following these developments, while the MSCI Asia-Pacific index rose 0.3%, with significant gains in South Korea and Taiwan.
