Weak start to the week for Asian stock markets, with the indices moving in no particular order. Investors are awaiting a series of macro data - such as GDP and the PCE deflator in the USA and inflation in the Eurozone.

All eyes are also on China, whose PMI indices will be known on Friday. Weakness also on the energy front, with oil falling by 0.2%: WTI trades at 76.26 dollars a barrel while Brent drops to 81.48 dollars.
