Asian shares have advanced as U.S. stocks held relatively steady while investors awaited signals on when the war with Iran may end. Tokyo's Nikkei 225 jumped 2.1% and South Korea's Kospi advanced 3.5%. On Tuesday, the S&P 500 dipped 0.2% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.1%. The Nasdaq composite edged less than 0.1% higher.
