India's Nifty IT index rose 1.2%.

FTSE China A50 futures opened down 0.18%.

Capital Economics analyst Thomas Ryan says Canadian manufacturing sales rose further in May, with new orders and unfilled orders surging, supporting a cyclical uptrend despite US punitive tariffs on the sector. Sales climbed 1.3% MoM, slightly above Statistics Canada’s preliminary 1.1% estimate. Volumes rose 0.5% MoM and are more than 6% above their early‑year trough. Ryan says the data imply upside risk to the preliminary estimate of May GDP growth of 0.1% MoM.
