Asian share markets enjoyed a relief rally on Monday as upbeat U.S. jobs data lessened immediate concerns about health of the world's largest economy, though long-run fallout from Brexit kept sovereign yields near record lows, according to Reuters.

MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 0.75 percent, While Australia added 1.3 percent, it said.

Hong Leong IB Research said that taking cue from last Friday’s rally on Dow and hopes for stimulus from global policymakers to limit Brexit fallout, the FBM KLCI is expected to open the week on a positive mood.

“However, we still expect global markets to remain volatile for a while as profit taking may emerge after recent sharp relief rallies as investors grapple with Brexit domino impact, anemic global economic growth, rising terrorism risks and the prospects of potential EU shake-up,” it said.
