BANGKOK (AP) — Shares have advanced in Asia following a rally on Wall Street led by technology companies. There was little if any immediate reaction to President Donald Trump's State of the Union address.
Japan's Nikkei 225 index gained 0.1 percent to 20,874.06 early Wednesday. Australia's S&P ASX 200 rose 0.3 percent, helped by buying of banks' shares, to 6,026.10, while the Sensex in India jumped 0.6 percent to 36,836.43. Markets in Hong Kong, mainland China and most of Southeast Asia were closed for lunar new year holidays.
