Asian equity markets ended in green on Monday, as investors remained cheerful after the Federal Bureau of Investigation cleared US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton of potential criminal charges in its private email server probe. The FBI's latest announcement lifted a cloud over her presidential campaign two days before the presidential election. Japanese shares climbed on a weaker yen against dollar, after FBI’s report on Clinton’s case and the latest US jobs report kept prospects of a near-term Fed rate hike alive. Chinese shares ended higher with commodity-related stocks outperforming after Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said on Saturday, that the government would maintain steady growth and speed up economic transformation. Further, Hong Kong shares traded higher even as realty stocks fell sharply after a hike in stamp duty on property transactions.
