Asian shares firmed on Monday as demand for tech stocks buoyed Japan's market, while a data-packed week promises to be pivotal to the outlook for the Chinese economy and U.S. interest rates.
while a flat reading for consumer spending suggested the Federal Reserve's rate hikes were having an impact, albeit gradually.
Important U.S. data this week includes closely watched surveys on manufacturing and services, job openings and the June payrolls report. Median forecasts are for a steady unemployment rate, while jobs are seen up 225,000 after May's surprisingly strong 339,000.
