Meanwhile, regional peers ended in mix performance, as investors cautiously await key U.S. data this week. We reckon the U.S. data later in the week remains a key focus, with the Federal Reserve poised to reduce its stimulus as soon as it deems the economy is strong enough. Indonesia Indonesian shares rose on Monday as data showed an unexpected trade surplus in October after the central bank tightened monetary policy to slow the economy and imports. The trade surplus was $50 million in October, data from the statistics bureau showed on Monday, compared with an expected deficit of $650 million in a Reuters poll of economists. Exports jumped 2.59 percent compared with a 7.55 percent fall in the previous month. ID:nL4N0JF07H Property stocks jumped almost 5 percent, while the blue-chip index rose 2.11 percent. The main index was up 1.5 percent. Shares of both Alam Sutera Realty and Ciputra Development soared more than 11 percent, while Bumi Serpong Damai rose 9.6 percent. "With better trade data, the rupiah wouldn't be too weakened and we expect interest rates not to be raised again. This is good for banking and property stocks," said Jemmy Paul, a Jakarta-based equity fund manager at Sucorinvest Asset Management. The Indonesian rupiah jumped more than 2 percent as the central bank and foreign lenders provided more support to the currency.

Gas price in Vietnam rose almost 20 percent on Sunday to about 480,000 dong ($22.77) per 12 kg, the highest level since early 2012, due to a price hike in the global market, state media reported. Vietnam's largest listed firm PetroVietNam Gas rose 1.56 percent to close at 65,000 dong. Real-estate firm Vingroup climbed 1.45 percent Other gas firms also gained, including Petrovietnam Low Pressure Gas Distribution Co which climbed 1.72 percent. But losses in other blue-chips kept the index at a small gain. Dairy products maker Vinamilk lost 0.7 percent while Vietnam's biggest insurer BaoViet Holdings dropped 1.45 percent. Here is a snapshot of the VN Index at the close VN Index 508.53 PREV. CLOSE 507.78 % CHANGE 0.15% HIGH 509.48 LOW 507.1 Asean All Southeast Asian stocks rose on Monday, led by Indonesia on a series of positive data, while other markets gained after China's factory data showed steady growth in November and Thailand recouped its early losses. Jakarta's Composite Index jumped 1.5 percent to a one-week high, led by financials after optimistic economic data including a less-then-expected pick up in inflation and a surprise trade surplus in October. "Inflation, remaining under control, gives positive sentiment for property sector," Jakarta-based Trimegah Securities said in an investor note. "In addition the... trade balance which is much higher than expected gives very positive sentiment for the property, construction and banking sector." China's factory activity maintained steady growth momentum in November, boosted by resilient new orders, though the pace of expansion eased slightly from October, a private survey showed on Monday, keeping intact expectations that the economy is on a stabilizing path in the last quarter of the year. Thailand's SET index , which tumbled more than 1.1 percent in the early trade, recovered to end 0.2 percent firmer after Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said she would "open every door" to find a peaceful solution to the on-going political crisis. Political tension, however, persisted with the Thai Police using rubber bullets against protesters seeking to topple Shinawatra's government. The Philippines' broader index ended 0.2 percent firmer at a near two-week high, while Singapore's Straits Times Index gained 0.4 percent to its highest close since Nov. 19. Malaysia's broader index and Vietnam's benchmark VN Index closed up 0.3 percent and 0.2 percent respectively.
