Most Asian stock indices closed higher, following gains on U.S. markets.

The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia's manufacturing index climbed to 28.0 in August from 23.9 in July, beating expectations for a drop to 20.3.
The existing home sales in the U.S. rose 2.4% to 5.15 million units in July from 5.03 million units in June. Analysts had expected a decrease to 5.01 million units in July.
