Asian stock markets, orphaned by Chinese stock markets for the Lunar New Year, ended the session on the rise. Investors' attention is focused on the quarterly results, a useful element for testing the performance of the global economy.
The next decisions of the central banks on monetary policy are under the spotlight, also in light of the Japanese GDP data. Tokyo rises (+1.21%), to the highest in 34 years. On the currency market, the yen is stable at the dollar at 150.10 and the euro at 161.10.
