Asian equity markets ended higher on Tuesday amid receding worries about Hurricane Irma and North Korea as the enormous storm weakened and the UN Security Council unanimously steeped up sanctions against North Korea for its latest missile and nuclear tests. Japanese shares hit their highest level in a month as a weaker yen bolstered exporters and financials also gained ground in the wake of sharp gains in US bond yields and lower-than-expected damage from Hurricane Irma. Chinese shares inched higher, although gains remained modest ahead of August industrial output, retail sales and fixed-asset investment data due this week.
