Asian stocks track Wall St records on vaccine, recovery hopes


HONG KONG (AFP): Equities rallied in Asia on Thursday (Sept 3) following another blow-out session on Wall Street as investors bet that the global economy is on the right track, fuelled by new vaccine hopes and central bank largesse.

Traders were even willing to overlook a well-below-forecast US private-sector jobs report and China-US tensions, with the fear of missing out on healthy returns keeping the money rolling into markets.
