Asian-Pacific benchmarks closed generally higher with the Nikkei hitting a four-year high above 14,000, boosted by upbeat U.S. economic data and strong confidence in the domestic economy. The index climbed 1.3% on record gains in microchip and banking stocks. Across the region, South Korea’s Kospi rose 0.3%, Singapore Straits Times advanced 0.5%, while the only loser Hong Kong fell 0.3% on property stocks. |
