Asian markets end mostly higher on Monday

09 Dec 2019 Evaluate

Asian markets ended mostly higher on Monday on the strong US jobs data announced last week. Non-farm payroll employment surged up by 266,000 jobs in November after climbing by an upwardly revised 156,000 jobs in October. The jobless rate edged down to 3.5 percent from 3.6 percent in October. Japanese shares ended up as investors awaited key central bank meetings and the UK election. Further, Seoul stocks closed higher, despite North Korea conducting a ‘very important test’ at a long-range missile launch site. US President Donald Trump warned Sunday that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un risks losing ‘everything’ if he acts in a hostile way. Moreover, Chinese shares ended little changed with a positive bias after the release of November trade data. Though, the upside remained limited on concerns about an escalation in the Sino-US trade war after top White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said that December 15 deadline is still in place to impose a new round of US tariffs on Chinese consumer goods.
