Asian markets end mostly in green on Monday

06 Apr 2015 Evaluate

The Asian markets closed mostly in green on Monday, after a dismal US jobs report pushed down US Treasury yields as investors pared bets that US Federal Reserve would hike interest rates anytime soon. The stock market of China, Hong Kong and Taiwan were closed today on account of trading holiday. For Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s economic revival plan to work, pulling Japan out of decades of stagnation and deflation, companies need to be willing to use that cash for new investment in a way they have so far baulked at in the more than two years since he took office. Japan’s index of leading economic indicators rose to a seasonally adjusted 105.3.
