Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index traded up 0.18 percent at 30,076 by the time of this writing tech giant Tencent easing near one and a half percent. AAC Technologies - an key Apple supplier - traded in red.

In China, the Shanghai composite was up 1.24 percent and the Shenzhen composite followed with a 1.18 percent.
