Asian stocks broadly rose Wednesday after US Federal Reserve chief Janet Yellen damped speculation of a rate hike before summer, and as eurozone finance ministers backed Greek reforms critical to avoiding a disastrous default.
The regional uptrend tracked fresh record highs on Wall Street and in Europe as investors breathed a cautious sigh of relief over the Greek package, which gives Athens a lifeline to pay its bills - for now - and sidestep an almost certain exit from the eurozone.
"The two potential international risk events for markets had positive outcomes," said Ric Spooner, chief market analyst at CMC Markets in Sydney.
"Janet Yellen's testimony moved expectations for a rate hike out in time while the boxes were ticked to cement a four-month funding programme for Greece." Tokyo edged up 0.14 per cent at the open, Sydney rose 0.28 per cent, Seoul jumped 0.74 per cent, while Wellington rallied 1.46 per cent.
