Earlier on Monday, Asian shares were broadly higher after the mammoth US stimulus bill cleared the Senate over the weekend, boosting optimism about the global economic recovery.

Equity markets in China and the Philippines fell more than 1.5%, while in South Korea they were about 1% lower.

Broadly, rising prices had already been on investors' minds, pushing US bond yields higher and keeping pressure on Asia's bond markets and equity valuations. "We are likely nearing a point when higher oil prices become a negative rather than a positive influence over risk assets via the inflation throughput to higher yields."

South Korea's won fell 0.6%. On the other end, Singapore stocks jumped 2% to their highest in more than a year, led by a rally in Jardine Strategic and Jardine Matheson, which climbed nearly 20% and 14%, respectively.
