Japan's Nikkei, China's Shanghai Composite, Hong Kong's Hang Seng and South Korea's were trading 1-1.7 percent higher.
New York Fed President John Williams said on Thursday that policymakers need to add stimulus early to deal with too-low inflation when interest rates are near zero and cannot wait for economic disaster to unfold.
