Asian equity benchmarks are trading up in the early deals on Thursday, following the positive lead overnight from Wall Street and the rebound in crude oil prices to an almost five-month high. Japanese stocks edged higher after the yen resumed a weakening trend against the US dollar amid a bounce in oil prices and growing expectations of further easing from the Bank of Japan.
