Asian equities rise lifted by Wall Street records
The majority of Asian shares increased in Friday after benchmark stock indexes traded in Wall Street reached new record highs yesterday despite the fact that the U.S. posted its first GDP contraction in a three-year period. The MSCI Asia-Pacific gauge outside Japan rose as much as 0.1%, while the Japan's Nikkei 225 index fell 0.2%.
