Asia-Pacific equity markets on Wednesday broke away from their recent lockstep trading, as the global stock rout over the past two weeks abated and local factors took center stage.

Gold trimmed some of its early gains to 6-day tops but has still managed to hold with minor gains for the third consecutive session.
