Asian Markets traded mostly higher in early deals of Monday, in line with positive Wall Street in weekend trade after better than anticipated US employment data. Market sentiments also buoyed amid optimism that a truce in Yemen could ease supply disruption concerns in the Middle East. However, the market remained volatile with the lingering geo-political tensions, inversion in Treasury bond yields and Covid-19 lockdowns in China. Japanese stocks edged higher with some bargain hunting after stocks fell on concerns over economic health of the country with the surging raw material costs and a rebound in coronavirus cases in Japan. Chinese stock market is closed for Ching Ming Festival and Taiwan market is closed for Children's Day.
