Asian markets ended mostly higher on Monday, after a highly lackluster session as investors stayed wary of making significant moves due to worries about global economic growth. The Chinese market, which resumed trading after Lunar New Year holidays, closed higher with investors lapping up some shares even as they awaited a new round of US-China trade talks, set to begin in Beijing later in the week. Meanwhile, the Japanese market remained closed for a holiday for National Foundation Day.
