[MARKET UPDATE] Asia-Pac stocks are positive but with some of the gains capped after the weak US lead and with the NFP report on the horizon, while participants also digest earnings in thinned conditions with Japanese markets shut for a holiday

Asia-Pac stocks are positive but with some of the gains capped after the weak US lead and with the NFP report on the horizon, while participants also digest earnings in thinned conditions with Japanese markets shut for a holiday.

The positive sentiment in Asia-Pacific stocks today has been somewhat tempered by the underwhelming performance in the US, along with the anticipation surrounding the upcoming Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) report. Market conditions are thinned due to Japan's holiday, suggesting that any significant moves might be limited as participants digest recent earnings and position themselves ahead of the data release.
