Asian markets ended mostly higher on Monday ahead to the release of US inflation data and the minutes of the Federal Reserve's latest policy meeting later this week for further clues about the US Federal Reserve's future interest rate path. Hong Kong shares finished higher as trading resumed after a typhoon-related interruption. However, a sharp jump in oil prices following political uncertainty and instability in the Middle East, limited further gains in Asian indices. Markets in Japan, Taiwan and South Korea were closed for holidays.
