Asian markets conclude Friday’s trade mostly in red

11 Apr 2014 Evaluate

The Asian markets concluded Friday’s trade mostly in red with stock indices dropping from an almost three-month high amid a renewed selloff of technology shares and as a gain in the yen dragged Japan’s Topix index to its worst week since June. Indonesian shares however rose amid bargain hunting in battered large caps as investors weighed political uncertainties after an unconvincing election win by the main opposition party. Chinese CPI rose to an annual rate of 2.4%, from 2.0% in the preceding month while Chinese PPI fell to an annual rate of -2.3%, from -2.0% in the preceding month.
