DAVID HAFFENREFFER, CNN ANCHOR: Well, investors in Asia get inspiration from Wall Street.</s>DEBORAH MARCHINI, CNN ANCHOR: Michelle Han wraps up the trading day from our studios in Hong Kong. Hello, Michelle.</s>MICHELLE HAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, David, Deborah. Well, the Nasdaq's three percent run-up inspired a rally in key Asian markets. In Tokyo, the benchmark Nikkei advanced two percent with tech shares providing the momentum. Sony jumped 2 2/3 percent. Toshiba up two percent. NTT DoCoMo rose more than three percent. On the economic front, the Japanese government unveiled a new spending package worth $37 billion. The move aimed at keeping the recovery on track. But analysts worry that debt will skyrocket. Here in Hong Kong, the U.S. Senate's approval of PNTR status for China lifted share prices in early trade, but by the close, the Hang Seng finished slightly lower. Both the eight (ph) share and red chip indices, bourses that trade mainland companies, ended a half a percent higher, though. And in South Korea, the bulls came back in full force. The benchmark Kospi jumped six percent thanks to a 10 1/2 percent gain in Samsung Electronics. And that wraps up the trading day here in Asia. Back to both of you in New York.</s>HAFFENREFFER: All right, thank you, Michelle.
