Asia-Pacific markets mostly climbed Monday, with investors awaiting business activity figures from several key economies in the region.
China's Caixin services purchasing managers' index from S&P Global is due later in the day. Market reaction in China will also be in focus after the country's central bank said over the weekend it would implement a "moderately loose" monetary policy in 2025.
December PMI figures for India and Hong Kong will also be released Monday
Futures for Hong Kong's Hang Seng index last traded at 19,827, pointing to a stronger open for the index compared to the HSI's Friday close of 19,760.27.
Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 fell marginally, while the broad-based Topix fell 0.2%.
South Korea's Kospi was up 0.23%, while the small-cap Kosdaq was 0.56% higher.
