Asian markets settled mostly higher on Monday, despite heightened Middle East geopolitical tensions as the conflict between Israel and Iran continued. Japanese shares rallied ahead of the Bank of Japan's upcoming policy meeting, with the central bank widely expected to keep interest rates unchanged. Meanwhile, a weaker yen also boosted export-related shares. Moreover, Chinese and Hong Kong shares gained as investors digested mixed macroeconomic data. Data showed that Chinese factory output growth hit a six-month low in May, while retail sales picked up steam offering temporary relief for the world's second-largest economy amid a fragile truce in the country's trade war with the United States.
