Asian Stocks Rebound After Rate Cut; Banks, Miners Lead Gains
By Chen Shiyin and Emma O'Brien

Jan. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Asian stocks rebounded after the U.S. Federal Reserve's surprise interest-rate cut boosted banks and higher metals prices lifted miners.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia jumped the most in a decade and BHP Billiton Ltd., the world's largest mining company, soared the most in 20 years. Samsung Electronics Co. and Honda Motor Co. led gains among companies that rely on U.S. sales.

Asia's benchmark yesterday completed its worst two-day drop in almost 18 years on concern the global economy is slowing.

The rate cut is ``comforting because it indicates that the Fed is starting to pay attention to the maintenance of market stability,'' said Angus Gluskie, who helps manage the equivalent of $500 million at White Funds Management in Sydney.

The MSCI Asia Pacific Index added 2.7 percent to 135.64 as of 9:40 a.m. in Tokyo, headed for its biggest gain since Sept. 19.

Japan's Nikkei 225 Stock Average surged 3.5 percent to 13,062.41. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 Index jumped 5.1 percent, poised for its largest advance since October 1997.

The Fed cut the benchmark interest rate by three quarters of a percentage point to 3.5 percent, its first emergency reduction since 2001. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 1.1 percent yesterday in the U.S.
