Hong Kong - Asian markets advanced on Friday, clawing back some of the previous day's losses but traders remain on edge as they track the crisis in Yemen, with fears that unrest in the country could turn into a wider Middle East conflict.
The gains came despite another sell-off on Wall Street, although the euro struggled to regain its recent strength after tumbling in New York from levels above $1.10 earlier in the day.
Oil price also dipped a day after surging in reaction to the unrest in Yemen.
