Most of the Asian market indices are trading in green in early deals on Thursday following the positive lead from Wall Street on upbeat corporate earnings results and reports that British Prime Minister Theresa May's government survived a vote of no confidence in parliament. Though, the Japanese market is lower despite the positive cues overnight from Wall Street and weaker yen. Among the other Asian markets, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Indonesia, Shanghai and Malaysia are higher. Bucking the trend, Singapore is in negative territory.
