Most of the Asian equity benchmarks are trading up in the early deals on Friday after the Dow Jones finished above 25,000 for the first time overnight and North and South Korea agreed to hold talks in a sign of easing animosities. Investors’ focus was on the upcoming US jobs reports. Meanwhile, Japan’s Nikkei share average extended the previous session’s gains, probing 26-year highs as banking and brokerage shares rose, while Toshiba shares firmed on news of a buyer for its Westinghouse Electric unit. Among the other Asian markets, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Shanghai, Indonesia, Taiwan and South Korea are higher. Bucking the trend, Singapore is in negative territory.

Nikkei 225 added 128.6 points or 0.55% to 23,634.93, Hang Seng gained 55.11 points or 0.18% to 30,791.59, KOSPI Index rose 24.35 points or 0.99% to 2,490.81, FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI spurt 10.6 points or 0.59% to 1,814.05, Shanghai Composite strengthen 7.95 points or 0.23% to 3,393.66, Jakarta Composite increased 5.83 points or 0.09% to 6,298.15, and Taiwan Weighted was up by 3.09 points or 0.03% to 10,851.72.
