Asia Shares Boosted By Wall St Rally

Hong Kong (AFP) - Asian markets pushed higher Wednesday, taking a lead from fresh gains in New York and Europe in response to reports that the European Central Bank will widen its stimulus programme.Speculation about further monetary easing in the eurozone pushed the euro lower, while the dollar gave up some of its US gains in early Japanese trade.Tokyo -- which surged four percent Monday before losing 2 percent Tuesday -- jumped 1.71 percent by the break.
