Broadly speaking, the global backdrop for Asian markets is still bright, with investors confident that the Fed will soon cut U.S. interest rates keeping the dollar, bond yields and volatility in check, and boosting risk assets.

Gold climbed more than 1% to a record $2,449.89 an ounce, while three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange surged as much as 4.1% to a historic high of $11,104.50, after climbing 28% so far this year.
