MUMBAI (NewsRise) - Asian stocks rose Monday, as the dollar index recoiled after newly sworn-in U.S. President Donald Trump refrained from elaborating on future fiscal spending plans during his inaugural address, even as he reiterated his protectionist stance.
The Nikkei Asia300 Index rose 0.6% or 6.2 points to 1,077.69. Technology heavyweights Samsung Electronics, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing and South Korea's SK Hynix led gains on the index.
