Asian shares slip to 1-week lows on renewed virus scare, inflation worry


SYDNEY: Asian shares stumbled to a one-week low on Monday and perceived safe haven yen edged higher amid a relentless surge in coronavirus cases and fears of rising inflation while oil prices fell on oversupply worries.

In a sign the gloomy mood would extend elsewhere, Eurostoxx 50 futures fell 0.7%, while those for Germany's DAX declined 0.6%. London's FTSE futures were 0.8% lower.
