Most Asian markets climbed Thursday, with robust gains in Chinese resource and automobile shares offsetting a sharp fall in property developers after Beijing unveiled a fresh set of measures to check rising home prices.

“I think it’s just a technical rebound ... Before the weekend there will be concerns that the Chinese government may raise interest rates again and I don’t expect the market to jump sharply,” said Conita Hung, head of equities at Delta Asia Financial Group. (MarketWatch)
