Global sentiment was broadly positive as a resolution to the US government shutdown lifted most Asian markets. World shares gained after US President Donald Trump signed a funding bill, ending the record 43-day shutdown.

“The shutdown had blocked not just spending, but also delayed a raft of federal economic data,” said Stephen Innes of SPI Asset Management. “For markets, the only line that matters is simple: the lights are coming back on.”

South Korea’s Kospi ended 0.5 percent higher, but Australia’s ASX 200 slipped 0.5 percent following strong jobs data that dimmed hopes of near-term rate cuts.
