AFP, Hong Kong :
Asian markets mostly rose Tuesday with a little more optimism in the air than in recent weeks as China and the US hold trade talks and the Federal Reserve flags a more dovish stance.
Wall Street provided another positive lead, extending Friday’s surge, with Chinese monetary easing at the weekend adding to the buying sentiment.
Focus is now on Beijing, where Chinese and American officials were holding a second day of discussions aimed at resolving their almost year-old trade row.
While there is little expectation this week for a full agreement on the issue, which has seen the two sides exchanges tariffs on goods worth hundreds of billions of dollars, there are hopes they can make some headway.
