The Asian markets ended in green on Monday, as European bank worries receded and an official survey showed activity in China's manufacturing sector expanded slightly in September. Though, a raft of factory activity data from across the region proved a mixed bag. China's official manufacturing PMI stood unchanged in September from the previous month, while data over the weekend showed activity in the services sector picked up somewhat. Japanese shares ended higher as easing fears over Deutsche Bank's health helped to improve investors' risk appetite. Investors shrugged off the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) closely-watched business sentiment survey, which showed that confidence among big Japanese manufacturers remained unchanged in September, compared to the previous three months. Markets in China, South Korea and Malaysia were closed for public holidays.
