Asian equity benchmarks are trading in green in the early deals on Monday after Wall Street rallied Friday on stronger than expected US jobs data for the month of November. The US non-farm payrolls data on Friday showed the economy added 211,000 jobs in November, which was slightly above forecasts, and the unemployment rate held steady at 5 per cent. Encouragingly, jobs growth in September and October was revised to be higher than previously estimated. The jobs data bolstered the case for an interest rate hike by the US Federal Reserve later this month, although the pace of monetary policy normalization is expected to be gradual.
