Asian equity benchmarks are trading up in the early deals on Friday, tracking the positive cues overnight from Wall Street and European markets after the European Central Bank hinted at further economic stimulus measures in December. Meanwhile, Japan's Nikkei share average rose sharply to a near two-month high after European Central Bank President Mario Draghi signalled that new stimulus measures could come as early as December, boosting riskier assets. Additionally, exporters' stocks were buoyed by a weaker yen.
