Asian equity benchmarks are trading in green in early deals on Thursday, buoyed with the firm trend in US markets overnight and as crude oil rates recovered from its recent plunge. Moreover, market sentiments have been lifted with the anticipation for stimulus measures from global central banks to deal with the severe, painfully deep recession after businesses shut down worldwide in hopes of slowing the spread of the coronavirus. Japan's Nikkei is trading higher with weaker yen. Among the other Asian markets, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, Shanghai, and Malaysia are trading in green.
