Asia dips on Wall Street, dollar sags after weak U.S. wage data

Asian shares took cues from a lower Wall Street and dipped early on Monday, while the dollar was on the defensive against the euro and yen following disappointing U.S. wage growth data that dented prospects for an early interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan slipped 0.2 percent. Japan's Nikkei fell 0.2 percent and South Korea's Kospi lost 0.5 percent.
