Asian stock markets mostly extended gains to a third straight day early Wednesday, following little movement overnight in the U.S. and Europe.
After posting the only declines in the region Tuesday — albeit slight ones — Chinese equities lagged again, with the Shanghai Composite SHCOMP, -0.31% off 0.4% and the Shenzhen Composite 399106, -0.56% down 0.6%. Infrastructure names failed to do much despite the Ministry of Finance calling for “further aggressive measures” to boost domestic demand and fuel structural shift in the economy.
