Asian markets were mostly higher Thursday, tracking positive cues from Wall Street as traders shrugged off a slew of soft data including a weaker-than-expected report on retail sales in the world's largest economy.
Tokyo and Sydney rose 0.60 per cent, while Hong Kong and Shanghai traded flat.
Seoul added 0.19 per cent after South Korea's central bank cut interest rates for the first time in 15 months, under growing government pressure including warnings of recession from the new finance minister.
The rise came after solid gains on Wall Street, where the Dow Jones Industrial Average on Wednesday finished up 0.55 per cent at 16,651.80, with investors discounting a lackluster US retail sales report.
