SYDNEY (Reuters) - Asian shares shrugged off caution over the rapidly spreading Delta variant of the coronavirus to advance to one-week highs on Wednesday led by strong U.S. corporate earnings and successful vaccine rollout globally.
In a sign the positive mood will extend overseas, eurostoxx 50 futures added 0.3% while German Dax futures and those for London s FTSE were up 0.1% each. U.S. futures were slightly weaker with E-minis for the S&P 500 a nudge lower.
Asian markets had started on a jittery note but bounced strongly in mid-morning trades.
