All the Asian equity benchmarks are trading jubilantly in early deals on Thursday, tracking firm cues from Wall Street where the major averages posted strong gains overnight after the Senate reached an agreement to increase the debt limit and ended the 16-day government shutdown. Back on regional turf, Japanese Nikkei surged over a percent buoyed by a strong close on Wall Street overnight. The dollar’s rise to the 99-yen range too contributed significantly to the gains in the Japanese market. Moreover, Chinese Shanghai too edged higher by half a percent in early deals. However, gains remained capped as investors remained a bit cautious ahead of some important economic data tomorrow.
