Asian stocks started the week on positive foot as the coronavirus death rate drop in Europe for the third consecutive day. Japan’s government is considering six months for a state of emergency declaration. Investors ignore the weak fundamental data and focus on the coronavirus death rate and the lockdown period in economies across the globe. Economic data from Europe, USA, and Asia continues to disappoint as U.S. jobless claims hit an all-time high.

Nikkei 225 ended 4.24% higher at 18576; the Singapore Straits Times is 2.78% higher at 2455. The Hang Seng Index is 2.08% higher at 23732. ASX 200 added 4.30% higher at 5286.
