The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite gained 0.14 percent, following the Fed's reiteration of its stance that the ongoing price hike is likely transient.
The Dow Industrial Average and the S&P 500 edged up 0.07 percent and 0.14 percent, respectively.
In Seoul, market bellwether Samsung Electronics added 1.24 percent, and No. 2 chipmaker SK hynix advanced 0.4 percent.
Internet portal operator Naver moved up 0.14 percent, and giant pharmaceutical firm Samsung Biologics traded flat.
