An index of Asian shares got off to a lackluster start on Monday as many countries in the region returned from Lunar New Year holidays, with sentiment supported by relief that Greece reached a deal to avert an immediate fiscal crisis. Although an initial relief over the last-minute deal boosted Wall Street shares to record highs late on Friday, Asian markets as a whole saw little follow-up buying. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was flat from its Friday close, after earlier drifting lower. U.S. stock futures (ESc1) were nearly flat in Asian trading but Japan's Nikkei (.N225) took a cue from Wall Street's gains to rise 0.8 percent and scale another 15-year high.
