MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 0.5 per cent, helped by a 1 per cent jump in Taiwanese shares and a 0.8 per cent advance in Hong Kong's Hang Seng index. — AFP picSYDNEY, April 23 ― Asian shares extended gains today, taking cues from Wall Street as focus shifts to earnings results from US tech giants in the week, while a still strong dollar pressured the Japanese yen to fresh 34-year lows.
