Asian equity benchmarks are trading up in the early deals on Monday, cheered by a positive report on the Japanese economy, as players awaited a meeting between US President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart later in the week. Though, a negative lead from Wall Street on Friday capped some gains. Meanwhile, Japanese stocks edged up after sharp losses last week, but an upbeat Bank Of Japan survey had only a modestly positive impact on risk appetite amid lingering worries about the outlook for exporters. Among the other Asian markets, China and Taiwan were closed for public holidays.
