Asian Stocks Rise On Post-Election Optimism

Asian stocks ended mostly higher Tuesday as post-election optimism in Japan and a technology-sector rebound supported regional sentiment. The U.S. dollar index eased after reports that Chinese regulators limited U.S. Treasury bond holdings, while gold edged lower and oil prices remained subdued following prior gains. China's Shanghai Composite rose 0.13% to 4,128.37 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng climbed 0.58% to 27,183.
