Asian markets end mostly higher on Monday

18 May 2020 Evaluate

Asian markets ended mostly higher on Monday as oil prices climbed to their highest in more than a month due to optimism about a gradual reopening of businesses around the world. Market sentiment were improved further by comments from US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell who said the economy stateside may need a corona virus vaccine to fully recover and a jump in US stock index futures. Chinese shares ended higher after data showed home prices rose in April outweighed renewed Sino-US trade war tensions and the threat of a second wave of corona virus infections. Japanese shares ended up on signs of a slowdown in corona virus infections in the country that raised optimism that the government would soon ease restrictions. Investors, meanwhile, shrugged off data showing that the Japanese economy slipped into a recession in the first quarter.
