BANGKOK (AP) — Shares have opened higher in Asia after a strong finish last week on Wall Street. Tokyo, Hong Kong, Seoul and Shanghai all started out Monday with modest gains and U.S. futures also edged higher. Oil prices slipped. So far, Asian markets have taken in stride recent setbacks in the recovery from the pandemic as infections have come roaring back in Japan, Thailand and India, among other countries. Stocks climbed Friday in New York, though the S&P 500 still ended with its first weekly loss in the last five. Technology stocks and banks led much of the gains, while investors focused on lackluster company earnings from big names like Intel, American Express and Honeywell.
