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.
