Asian Stocks Climb on U.S. Data, Global Stimulus Bets

Asian Stocks Climb on U.S. Data, Global Stimulus Bets
Bloomberg (06/3) - Asian stocks climbed, with the regional benchmark index touching the highest level since August 2011, after U.S. shares surged to a record as the service industry expanded at the fastest pace in a year and investors bet central banks will continue stimulus measures.

The MSCI Asia Pacific Index (MXAP) gained 1.1 percent to 135.85 as of 12:11 p.m. in Tokyo, with almost four shares rising for each that fell.

The gauge last week capped a four-month advance, the longest such winning streak since September 2009, as central banks around the world maintained loose monetary policies to support economic growth.
