Tracking Wall Street’s rally, Asian markets went home with strong gains, as head of European Central Bank consoled worries over the euro zone. Japan’s Nikkei ended higher as the yen sank on confirmation that Japan's government had put forward Haruhiko Kuroda to take over at the Bank of Japan. Chinese markets too closed higher, while the Hang Seng also ended in positive territory. However, bucking the trend, Indian equity markets missed the broad uptrend and slid lower on proposal of higher taxes on wealthy individuals in his annual budget.
