STOCKS TODAY: Asian stocks mostly higher as investors eye earnings, inflation signs
Asian stocks were mostly higher on Monday as investors looked ahead to earnings reports from top global companies and a consumer price report measuring U.S. inflation. "With risk sentiment bouncing back from earlier nervousness, gains are likely to remain somewhat limited as there may be some validating comments ahead of this week's key U.S. Consumer Price Index release," said Yeap Jun Rong, market analyst at IG. The U.S. government will release the March Consumer Price Report later this week.
