Asian markets were trading higher on Thursday tracking Wall street gains overnight, even with caution ahead of US Fed Chair Jerome Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium for more clues about the economy and interest-rate outlook. Meanwhile, tepid US PMI data fuelled expectation the US central bank would end its tightening campaign to avert a recession.
