Asian-Pacific benchmarks advanced across the region on strong exporter-related issues, boosted by U.S. interest rate speculations. The Nikkei was closed for a national holiday. Among other regional markets, the biggest gainer was South Korea’s Kospi, surging 3% after yesterday’s 2% decline, followed by Hong Kong’s Hang Seng, up 1.2% and Singapore Straits Times, rising 0.8%. The only decliner was Australia’s All Ordinaries, down 0.2%. |
