Asian shares tentative, euro sags as markets eye Greece

Asian shares edged up and the euro sagged in early Asian trading on Tuesday as Greece lurched toward defaulting on a looming debt payment, raising the likelihood of the cash-strapped nation's exit from the euro zone. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was up 0.1 percent, while Japan's Nikkei stock index (.N225) added 0.2 percent. What is worrying is the volatility in the risk asset markets, which could impact currencies," said Kyosuke Suzuki, director of forex at Societe Generale in Tokyo.
