Asian shares were mostly lower on Monday after Wall Street’s huge rally faltered last week.
Japan’s Nikkei 225 index shed 2.5% to 38,704.10. The government issued revised figures showing the economy grew 0.1% in the last quarter of the year, better than the minus 0.1% reported earlier but lower than forecasts.
That means the economy is not in a technical recession, though it's expanding at a snail's pace.
