Asia extends global stocks rally

A broad gauge of Asian shares rose on Friday as investors saw enough one-off factors in U.S. consumer price data to back the Federal Reserve's conviction that rising inflation will be transitory.

Wall Street ends on a firm footing

Wall Street stocks ended higher in overnight trade, with the S&P 500 closing above its prior record high set on May 7, as economic data appeared to support the Federal Reserve's assertion that the current wave of heightened inflation will be temporary.
 
The consumer price index (CPI) data came in above consensus but a closer look showed that much of the price surge was from items such as commodities and airfares, and is therefore likely to be temporary.
 
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.06%, the S&P 500 gained 0.47% and the Nasdaq Composite added 0.78%.
