Japan's Nikkei lost on Monday after a weekly gain, closing -0.25% with a final quote of 17,468.52 weighed down by the results of the Greek snap-elections where the anti-austerity party Syriza scored a win within 2 seats of the absolute majority. A stronger Japanese yen weighed on exporter shares. The Adjusted Merchandise Trade Balance rose from -925.01 to -712.1 billion on Sunday and Japan's exports rose more-than-expected by 12.9% in December driven by a weaker Japanese Yen.
