Asian shares, dollar rally as North Korea blinks

Asian shares rallied and the dollar firmed on Tuesday after North Korea's leader signaled that he would delay plans to fire a missile near Guam, further easing tensions and prompting investors to move back into riskier assets. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan edged up 0.2 percent, with South Korea (.KS11) up 0.6 percent and Australia (.AXJO) 0.7 percent. Japan's Nikkei stock index (.N225) rose 1.2 percent, with a tailwind from a weaker yen.
