Asia shares track Wall St. higher, U.S. dollar firm

[Reuters] - Asian shares edged higher on Tuesday while the dollar stood firm as upbeat U.S. earnings boosted Wall Street and factory surveys in the United States and Europe boasted their best readings so far this year.

Australian stocks (.AXJO) added 0.5 percent and futures (NKc1) pointed to an opening gain of around 0.8 percent for Japan's Nikkei (.N225) helped by a softening yen.
