Asian-Pacific benchmarks closed largely higher, lifted by upbeat data indicating a robust growth in China’s trade surplus, which is a favorable factor for the inter-regional trade and development. The gainers were led by the Nikkei, climbing 1.5% to 16,363.59, followed by Hong Kong’s Hang Seng, up 0.5% and Taiwan’s Weighted index which reversed from losses to gain 0.4%. China’s Shanghai and South Korea’s Kospi dropped, 0.8% and 0.2% respectively |
