Major bourses in Asia were mainly higher on Thursday following a rebound on Wall Street. The Nikkei climbed over 1.2%, led by transportation stocks; while the Shanghai Composite and the Hang Seng gained, as policymakers flagged upcoming cuts to banks’ RRR to support the Chinese economy. Meantime, shares in South Korea were almost flat after the BoK raised its base rate to the highest since August 2019 to curb surging inflation.
