The leading Asian stock exchanges started the week's first trading day up after data from China showed that domestic consumption has gained momentum in the first months of the year.

In Tokyo, the important Nikkei 225 index had risen by 1.2 percent, while the broader Topix index added 1.3.

The cheerful tones were also heard from Hong Kong's Hang Seng index, which rose by 1.3 percent.

A more cautious optimism could be discerned in the composite indexes in Shanghai and Shenzhen, which climbed 0.3 and 0.1 percent, respectively.
