Economic optimism fuelled the overnight rally in financial markets, as investors digested the news of the passage of the USMCA agreement and the strong US retail sales data, following the earlier signing of the US-China Phase one trade deal, OCBC Treasury Research reported.
"Asian markets may start on a positive tone this morning, while awaiting China’s key 4Q19 GDP data release where market is eyeing a steady 6 percent handle and its accompanying data dump of industrial production, retail sales, fixed asset investments etc.," the report added.
Meanwhile, the S&P/ASX 200 index traded tad -0.16 percent down at 7,017.50 by 04:25GMT.
