Lead by mining names, Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 Index rose 0.7%. Gold caught a bid on Tuesday after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said various editions of quantitative easing have not yet stoked inflationary pressures in the U.S.

Earlier today, report from the Australian Bureau of Statistics said fourth-quarter construction spending there fell to -0.1% on a seasonally adjusted basis from 1.9% in the third quarter. Analysts expected the fourth-quarter reading to fall to 1.5%.
