GLOBAL MARKETS-Asian shares jump on tech boost; fragile yen on intervention watch
Asian stocks rose sharply on Wednesday led by tech stocks as investors' focus shifts to earnings from U.S. tech bellwethers this week, while the yen remained mired near 34-year lows, keeping traders wary of intervention from Japanese authorities. An after-hours surge in shares of EV maker Tesla following its promise of new models, and upbeat earnings from some U.S. companies lifted sentiment, spurring a rally in tech stocks across Asia, with Taiwan, South Korean and Japan's Nikkei leading the charge. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was 1.6% higher, having climbed 1% on Tuesday, as stocks rebounded from last week's steep selloff.
