stock market news today jan 17 2012 : Asian stock markets powered higher Tuesday as China grew at a faster-than-expected clip in the fourth quarter, dousing fears of a hard landing for the world's second-biggest economy, lifting the euro and regional currencies.

A successful sale of French Treasury bills Monday had earlier reassured investors in the wake of the country's credit downgrade late Friday. The China data further bolstered risk-sensitive currencies such as the euro and the Australian dollar.

Japan's Nikkei Stock Average rose 0.8%, Australia's S&P/ASX 200 advanced 1.4%, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index rallied 1.9% and South Korea's Kospi Composite climbed 1.5%. China's Shanghai Composite was up 0.9%, rebounding after initially paring gains amid reduced expectations for aggressive policy easing from Beijing.
