HONG KONG: Most Asian markets rose Monday (Jan 20) following a rally on Wall Street and record-breaking day in Europe, with sentiment boosted by positive talks between Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping that soothed worries about the incoming US leader's second term.
A sense of caution has permeated trading floors ahead of the tycoon's inauguration later in the day after he warned he would impose hefty tariffs on imports, fanning fears of another debilitating trade war between the economic superpowers.
