A sea of green in the Asia-Pacific

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - All local share markets in the Asia-Pacific are mostly in the green, with the Hong-Kong's Hang-Seng index and the Korean Kospi both up more than +0.8% leading the way higher after a slightly positive close in US equities with SP500 printing yet another all time record high.

The Nikkei index is last up +0.42% after a negative start, despite recent Yen strength, and Shanghai Index is also higher by +0.24% last. Australian ASX is also higher by +0.35%, all joining higher commodity prices and a new wave of less risk aversion.
