Asian markets are trading jubilantly in early deals on Thursday tracking overnight gains on Wall Street on speculation that the Fed may hold back from reducing stimulus after slower-than-estimated growth in the US economy. Back on regional turf, Chinese Shanghai Composite was up by about half a per cent but gains remained capped after investors turned cautious on worries over liquidity issues. Rally in South Korea’s equity market too aided sentiments in the region. KOSPI Composite surged by about three per cent after South Korean government revised up its growth forecast for the economy this year, as it expects the recent stimulus measures to boost economic activity further ahead. The Finance Ministry forecasted the economy to grow 2.7 percent in 2013, faster than an initial estimate of 2.3 percent expansion.
