Asia stocks close strongest month since January

Asian stocks rose on Thursday to clock their strongest performance in 10 months, as investor sentiment warmed on a relatively benign global interest rates outlook and signs of economic recovery.

The MSCI Asia-ex-Japan stocks index (.MIAPJ0000PUS) was up 0.1% at 0507 GMT, gaining 6.9% so far this month, setting it on course to mark the best month since January.
