Asian stocks fall amid EU caution

Asian stocks mostly drifted lower today as investors grew cautious ahead of a critical European Union summit later this week where Greek leaders will attempt to renegotiate some terms of the country’s international bailout.

Japan’s Nikkei 225 index was 0.1% lower at 8,785.10 and South Korea’s Kospi slid 1.7% to 1,816.11.
