HONG KONG, Dec 7 (AFP): Asian markets mostly rose Friday, with the
dollar again breaking 120 yen while the euro held onto gains after the
European Central Bank shied away from fresh stimulus measures.
Traders overcame early profit-taking, triggered by losses on Wall Street, ending the week on a high note ahead of the release of US jobs data.
Tokyo rose 0.19 per cent, or 33.24 points, extending their winning streak for a sixth straight day to end at a new seven-year high of 17,920.45.
Shanghai climbed 1.32 per cent, or 38.19 points, to 2,937.65 and Hong Kong added 0.71 per cent, or 170.08 points, to 24,002.64, as investors pumped in vast amounts of cash in hope of fresh economy-boosting measures from China.
