All of the Asian markets are trading higher in early deals on Monday as upbeat US jobs data for the month of June helped offset worries about rising US-China trade tensions. US tariffs on $34 billion worth of Chinese imports took effect on Friday, with China responding promptly by imposing tariffs on US products. Crude oil prices are extending gains in Asian trades. Chinese stocks rose despite heightened trade tensions between Washington and Beijing after each imposed major tariffs on the others' goods last week and investors nervously await more policy action. Meanwhile, Japan’s Nikkei share average rebounded to one-week highs as investors took heart from US jobs growth, while Eisai extended its gains to its daily-limit high on optimism for its Alzheimer’s drug.
