TOKYO – Asian shares were mostly higher on Tuesday with hopes growing for a global economic rebound despite surging coronavirus cases in many places.

China reported its exports rose nearly 31% in March, in line with expectations but weaker than the 60% growth seen in the first two months of the year.

The rising trade activity reflects higher demand in overseas markets even as some countries restore precautions to counter rising numbers of new infections.

Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 gained 0.7% to finish at 29,751.61. South Korea's Kospi gained 1.1% to 3,169.08. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 inched up less than 0.1% to 6,976.90.

COVID-19 topped a staggering 3 million people Saturday amid repeated setbacks in the worldwide vaccination campaign and a deepening crisis in places such as Brazil, India and France.The number of lives lost, as compiled by Johns Hopkins University, is about equal to the population of Kyiv, Ukraine; Caracas, Venezuela; or metropolitan Lisbon, Portugal.
