Japan's Nikkei 225 edged up at the
open, buoyed by better-than-expected economic data and strong gains in
financial heavyweights. Top lenders outperformed the bourse after announcing
plans to raise dividend payments and buy back their own shares.
Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group and Mizuho Financial Group charged up
nearly 2 percent each, while Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group advanced 0.8
percent.
