GLOBAL MARKETS ROUNDUP : 02.06.2014

GLOBAL MARKETS ROUNDUP
    * Tokyo shares led Asia higher early on Monday, lifted by
another closing record on Wall Street and upbeat China data,
while the euro held recent gains against the dollar but remained
shaky ahead of a closely watched European Central Bank
meeting.
    * The dollar edged up slightly in early Asian trade, while
the euro came under pressure as the market braced for further
stimulus measures from the European Central Bank this
week.
    * U.S. crude fell on Friday as traders took profit at the
end of the month, although the American benchmark rose 3 percent
in May, underpinned by supply worries and strong gasoline demand
in the United States.
    * Benchmark U.S. Treasuries yields rose on Friday as the
investor demand that stoked May's bond rally faded and Wall
Street dealers sought to resell their share of this week's $95
billion in fixed-rate government debt supply.
