TOKYO : Asia shares rallied on Thursday, following Wall Street's lead, and the dollar held just off a two-month high versus the yen amid signs Washington might be close to a deal to raise the debt ceiling and avert a first-ever default.

Long-term U.S. Treasury yields eased back slightly in Tokyo after rising to the highest since March 1 at 3.589 per cent in New York.
The Chinese currency, also known as the renminbi , is under pressure from a string of weak data that suggested Asia's biggest economy may have already passed the peak of its post-COVID recovery.
