Asian markets rallied on Thursday with investors rushing back after a recent sell-off, spurred by a Wall Street recovery and an indication from the US Federal Reserve that interest rates will not likely rise until mid-2015.While bank policymakers were reticent to give a firm date, their language indicated a change in tack, which analysts said suggested a rise in the first six months of the year. That lit a fire under the dollar.
Easing concerns about Russia's economy and a pick-up in oil prices also provided support to regional shares, with bargain-buyers making their move.
Tokyo surged 2.37 per cent as the greenback advanced against the dollar.
Hong Kong rose 1.20 per cent, Sydney added 1.43 per cent and Seoul was 0.38 per cent higher while Shanghai edged up 0.38 per cent.
