World markets cheer debt ceiling deal

HONG KONG (CNNMoney)

Japan's Nikkei rose 1.2% in early trading, and the Australia ASX All Ordinaries gained 0.6%. South Korea's KOSPI added 0.8%.

Other markets in Asia were not yet open for trading, and U.S. stock futures were little changed.

The Senate passed the measure by a wide margin Wednesday evening, with the House expected to take it up later in the night. President Obama pledged to sign the bill into law immediately.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Wednesday that the Senate agreement would reopen the government and fund it until January 15. It also would raise the debt limit until February 7, saving the country from defaulting on its bills.

The Senate agreement would also set up budget negotiations between the House and Senate for a long-term spending plan.

Stocks rallied in the U.S. on Wednesday as the debt deal took shape. The Dow Jones industrial average jumped more than 200 points, or 1.3%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq both gained more than 1%.
