Japan’s Nikkei 225 was the best performer in the region, hitting a record high on a rally in local tech and industrial names. Local markets were also encouraged by Tokyo doling out more fiscal measures to help support the economy.
Regional markets took a positive lead-in from Wall Street, which eked out record highs overnight on continued strength in tech and chipmaking names. S&P 500 Futures steadied in Asian trade.
