Asia up on Wall St. rally and China hopes, euro sags on Greece

Asian stocks rose across the board on Tuesday after a rally on Wall Street and steps by China to shore up its economy boosted risk appetite, while Greek debt worries again haunted the sagging euro. Spreadbetters expected European shares to pull back slightly after Monday’s rise, calling for Britain’s FTSE (.FTSE), Germany’s DAX (.GDAXI) and France’s CAC (.FCHI) to open a touch lower. Tracking overnight gains in U.S. stocks, MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was up 0.5 percent. Japan’s Nikkei (.N225) bucked the trend and lost 0.2 percent.
