Upbeat US nonfarm payrolls data were a positive factor for investor sentiment in Asia today but local events led to divergence in the performance of equity markets across the region. Meanwhile reports of an imminent Article 50 invocation have boosted the British pound.

From the Floor – TF

We're in for a busy week. Mario Draghi speaks today, where he may squash ECB rate hike rumours that saw the euro closing higher on Friday. Tuesday, UK prime minister Theresa May is expected to get parliamentary approval for Brexit. The following day the Dutch go to the polls in their most contentious election in decades on the same day the Federal Open Markets Committee is expected to announce as rate hike. And the week ends with the G20 finance ministers' meeting.
