After days of losses mirroring U.S. markets, China-related plays soared and other Asian markets also got a lift in Wednesday trading. Japan's Nikkei 225 Average rose 0.2% to 13,052 . China's Shanghai Composite jumped 3.8% and the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index saw a spike of 4.5% to 11,797. The word was that the rally in Shanghai was caused by speculation of a possible ban of pension fund managers from leaving their jobs less than a month before the Beijing Olympics begin.

Benjamin Collett with Daiwa Securities told MarketWatch, "What's (also) providing support to the (Shanghai) market is that valuations [are] at crisis levels and the Chinese economy isn't."

With the DJIA rallying 152 points yesterday, for, the streak is set to continue again today, taking some foreign markets along with it.
