Most of the Asian equity benchmarks are trading higher on Monday, as the upbeat US job data bolstered global investors’ appetite for riskier assets. Growing optimism over US-China trade talks aimed for defusing a nearly 16-month-long trade war, also lifted the market sentiments. Japan's Nikkei is closed for a holiday. Among the Asian markets, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, Shanghai and Malaysia are in positive note. Bucking the trend, Indonesia is reading lower.
