Asian-Pacific benchmarks closed largely higher, supported by solid Wall Street gains and strengthening dollar after the interest rate rise which is favorable for the Asian exporter-related issues. The Nikkei soared 1.4% to 16,710.55. Among other regional markets Singapore Straits Times rose 0.45%, while Thailand SET dropped 2.1% and South Korea’s Kospi declined 0.1%. The dollar bought 118.24 yen.
