According to a report by Reuters, Asian stocks held firm around a 2 and half month peak which was brought on a day after U.S. shares hit a record high thanks to a combination of upbeat U.S. data and expectations of more stimulus around the world.

MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose slightly to hit its highest level since late April in early trade. Japan’s Nikkei was trading up 2.65%.
