NEW YORK, May 25 — Asia stocks opened mostly in positive territory today even as global growth concerns and weak US economic data weighed on Wall Street overnight.

New home sales in the US fell 16.6 per cent month-on-month in April, the largest decline in nine years, sending US Treasuries yields down to one-month lows as investors turned once again to safety.
