Asian equities appear set for a wobbly open on Monday, as worries over a Greek default will likely keep investors on the sideline.
Amid a growing stalemate between Greece and its foreign creditors and with anxious depositors pulling billions of euros out of Greek banks, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras made a new offer on a reforms package on Sunday, showing a new willingness to make concessions that could unlock frozen aid to avert a default. Both sides are due to continue the negotiations at a crisis summit in Brussels this week.
Japan's Nikkei 225 may waver after Chicago and Osaka futures traded at 20,185 and 20,130, bracketing the index's previous close of 20,174.
Australian shares will likely see a subdued open. Local futures inched down 0.1 percent to 5,538, a 58-point discount to the underlying S&P ASX 200 index.
Meanwhile, mainland markets are closed on Monday for a national holiday
