Asia stocks extend rally as economic recovery hopes boost confidence

MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside of Japan rose for a ninth straight session for its longest winning streak since early 2018. It was last up 0.76per cent at a three-month peak.

U.S. stocks were also bolstered by a move by the Federal Reserve to ease the terms of its"Main Street" lending program to encourage more businesses and banks to participate.
