Asian shares rallied on Thursday after U.S. data sparked optimism. Many indexes rose to multi-month highs. Japan's Nikkei jumped over four percent to its highest in three months. That adds to hefty gains the previous day, as carmakers such as Toyota and Honda rose on hopes of renewed U.S. demand. South Korea's KOSPI gained as exporters like Samsung rose, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng surged, with HSBC stock rising along with most regional financials.
