The Asian markets ended in green on Thursday after bank shares recovered in Europe, US durable goods orders data beat estimates and OPEC members surprised market participants with a preliminary deal to curb output. A final decision on the OPEC agreement for a modest oil output cut would be taken at the next formal meeting, set to be held in Vienna on November 30. Japanese shares rallied as the OPEC deal and sluggish retail sales data pushed the yen lower against the dollar and euro. Retail sales in Japan fell 1.1 percent in August from the previous month, when they rose 1.5 percent, a government report showed. Meanwhile, Chinese stocks rose, led by energy shares, but turnover in Shanghai was near a four-month low as traders braced for a long holiday.
