In Asia, only a handful of markets remained open for trade on Monday. Japanese markets ended flat on Monday to halt a four-day winning streak, with early gains capped by market worries over Greece after negotiations with private creditors failed, raising the stakes for a meeting later in the day at which euro zone finance ministers will decide terms for a debt restructuring. Earlier, Nikkei opened up for the fifth day in a row as US home sales rose to the highest level in almost a year.
Olympus Corp, battling to emerge from a $1.7 billion accounting scandal, zoomed over 8% after the Tokyo Stock Exchange kept it listed, meaning it will be easier to raise capital, though with a special designation for firms needing to urgently improve internal management.
Nikkei 225 was down marginally by 0.46 points or 0.01% to 8,765.90.
Stock markets in China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan remained closed on Monday in observance of a public holiday.
