Meanwhile, Indian bonds rallied,
with yields falling to the lowest levels in nearly a month, after the
government reduced the amount of bond sales in January and February after a
recent surge in inflows into a government-run deposits scheme. Government will
present on February 1 its budget for the 2017/18 financial year starting on
April 1, a senior government official said today.

Asian indices ended higher today, led by gains in mining and metal stocks,
after data showed Chinese manufacturing sector expanded faster than expected in
December. China's Shanghai Composite and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index also added

holiday. Oil and gas producers also rose tracking gains in prices of crude oil,
