Asian markets ended mostly higher on Monday after US President Donald Trump signed a $2.3 trillion corona virus relief and government spending package into law on Sunday. President Trump also restored unemployment benefits to millions of Americans and averted a federal government shutdown. Japanese shares ended higher, despite data showed Japan's industrial output stalled in November from the previous month. Japan confirmed its first case of the new Covid-19 strain in a Tokyo resident who recently returned from Britain. Chinese shares were little changed, driven by strong industrial profit data that underscored a continued recovery in the world's second-largest economy. Though, Hong Kong shares declined after Chinese regulators ordered an Alibaba-affiliate Ant Group to rectify its businesses. While, Alibaba Group boosted its share buyback program to $10 billion from $6 billion.
