All the Asian market indices are trading in green in early deals on Wednesday, following the overnight gains on Wall Street amid optimism on the potential for progress in trade talks between Washington and Beijing, which were extended into a third day. After taking a battering in December and suffering a shaky start to 2019, confidence is slowly returning to equity trading floors, though dealers remain on edge. The Japanese market extended its winning streak to a third day on Wednesday. On the economic front, Japan will provide November figures for labor cash earnings later in the day.
