Hong Kong's Hang Seng index was the worst performer for the day, battered by a rout in electric vehicle and technology stocks.

The Nasdaq closed at a record high on Monday while the S&P 500 gained slightly as technology stocks advanced ahead of Nvidia's highly anticipated earnings and investors gauged the timing of an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve.
