Asian equities largely exhibit sluggish trends in Thursday trades

12 Jan 2012 Evaluate

Stock markets in Asia at large showed weak trends in Thursday’s trading session as sentiments remained unenthusiastic as a slew of disappointing reports from the European front, exacerbated worries that recession in the continent is inevitable. Investors in the region remained nervous as reports showed Germany’s economic growth shrank marginally at the end of the year 2011 while the European Union also went ahead to revise its economic growth forecasts to 0.1 percent in the third quarter, its weakest pace in over two years. Mixed leads from overnight Wall Street too made no perceptible impact on the regional bourses as reports that the Federal Reserve's Beige Book, which found US economic activity to be expanding at a modest to moderate pace, largely went unnoticed.

The benchmark in Japan plunged around a percent and was the leading loser in the space as the nation’s disappointing trade data added to the evidence of a global slowdown. Meanwhile, the Chinese shares traded with over half a percent loss after reports indicated that Chinese inflation eased only slightly in December to 4.1 percent against expectations of more improvement.

Shanghai Composite declined 13.11 points or 0.57% to 2,272.63, Hang Seng eased 23.05 points or 0.12% to 19,128.89, Jakarta Composite inched down 0.75 points or 0.02% to 3,910.39, Nikkei 225 plunged 81.94 points or 0.97% to 8,365.94 and Taiwan Weighted shed 4.65 points or 0.06% to 7,183.56.

On the flipside, Straits Times gained 7.32 points or 0.27% to 2,754.45 and Seoul Composite added 3.68 points or 0.20% to 1,849.23.
