Epic Asian Markets Update

Asian markets marked a second day of gains on Tuesday after a string of upbeat factory data around the globe boosted shares and most commodities, while a delay in a potential US strike on Syria diminished the safe-haven appeal of gold and the yen.

The dollar rose 0.3 percent to 99.62 yen after touching a one-month peak of 99.67 yen, while gold eased about 0.2 percent to USD 1,391.96 an ounce as investors rediscovered an appetite for risk.
