Fear & Greed Index
Markets in Asia were led higher by the Nikkei, which posted a dramatic 3.8% increase on hopes that the yen will continue to weaken. The rally was helped by news that Bank of Japan Governor Masaaki Shirakawa will step down from his post sooner than expected. The country's central bank has been under intense political pressure to engage in further monetary easing.
The Shanghai Composite added 0.1% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng gained 0.5%.
European markets were also higher in morning trading, helped by corporate earnings. Steel giant ArcelorMittal (AMSYF)said it was seeing "positive indicators" despite the fragility of the European economy and operating profit should rise in 2013.
