AFP, Hong Kong :
Asian markets rose Monday, tracking a strong lead from New York where two of the three main indexes closed at record highs.
With little to drive business from Asia, investors followed their US counterparts, who remain upbeat that President-elect Donald Trump will introduce measures that will fire the world’s top economy.
Friday’s US jobs report provided mixed signals as it showed fewer than expected posts created last month but that November’s figures were upgraded. It also said average hourly earnings rose from the prior month.
