All the Asian markets are trading in green in early deals on Friday led by rally in Chinese stocks which extended their gains for the second day running, also the revised data showed the US economy grew faster than initially thought in the second quarter, a reassuring sign of support for the global economy as China slows down. Japanese Nikkei too edged higher by around 3% led by buying in commodity-related stocks after oil prices rocketed overnight and other commodity prices soared, with trading houses Mitsubishi Corp soaring 7.2 per cent and Mitsui & Co jumping 6.2 per cent. Also supporting sentiment is the prospect that a September US rate hike is unlikely, which fuelled optimism that the worse of recent market turmoil may be over.
