Asia Shares Higher As S&p 500 Breaks Record

Hong Kong (AFP) - Asian markets ticked higher Wednesday following another record close on Wall Street as investors welcomed more upbeat data indicating the US economy is back on track.The positive US figures helped the dollar consolidate against the yen at a seven-month high, while it was at an 11-month peak against the euro following disappointing German data.Tokyo shares rose 0.10 percent in the morning, Hong Kong added 0.14 percent, Sydney gained 0.16 percent and Seoul advanced 0.53 percent, while Shanghai was up 0.19 percent.US stocks jumped anew Tuesday after the Conference Board said consumer confidence rose for a fourth straight month to its strongest level since February 2008.
