Asian equities see biggest earnings upgrade in 5 months

Asian equities in January received the biggest upgrade in their forward 12-month earnings estimates in five months, boosted by higher commodity prices and demand for technology exports in the region.

Companies in Taiwan, Australia and Thailand lured earnings upgrades of 4.9 per cent, 2.5 per cent and 2.2 per cent, respectively.
