Asian stocks rose for a second day on Wednesday, lifted by tech shares, while Brent crude climbed back above $92 a barrel amid Middle East turmoil. Tokyo's Nikkei 225 gained 1.9 percent and Seoul's Kospi surged 5.4 percent, mirroring overnight gains on the Nasdaq. Brent crude rose 1.2 percent to $92.09 per barrel, its highest intraday price since June 11, after President Donald Trump said the US was "not finished" attacking Iran and the military completed an 11th consecutive night of strikes to degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The Japanese yen weakened past 163 per dollar, its lowest since 1986, partly due to the oil price.
