Hong Kong - Asian equity markets pushed higher on Tuesday, while the dollar's march took a breather after a weak batch of US data seemed to pour cold water on talk of an early summer US interest rate hike.
The weak figures on US manufacturing and industrial output helped propel US shares higher, providing a strong lead for Asia.
Tokyo climbed 0.84% to sit at highs not seen in 15 years, while Hong Kong added 0.66%, Seoul put on 1.15% and Shanghai was 0.78% higher.
