Asian stocks gain after Fed minutes but China growth worries linger


BENGALURU: Asia's emerging market stocks advanced after initial hiccups on Thursday, as minutes from the U.S. Federal Reserve signalled the potential for a pause in rate hikes later this year, even as concerns over growth in China pressured local currencies.

Shares in Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and Manila traded between 0.1% and 0.4% higher. Markets in Indonesia were closed for a public holiday.
