Stock markets across Asia remain in green on Friday

27 Jan 2012 Evaluate

Stock markets across Asia were trading on a positive note but only with marginal gains on last trading day of the week as investors remained cautious tracking the negative overnight close on Wall Street where underwhelming economic reports dampened investors’ mood. However, hopes of some headway in the Greece debt negotiations capped the downside for the markets as Greek Prime Minister and Finance Minister resumed talks with banks and insurers on a major write-down to help the troubled country avert an onerous debt default. However, downbeat US economic reports like rise in jobless claims along with weak new home sales figures overshadowed the positive US new orders for manufactured durable goods numbers in December.

The South Korean index was the leading gainer in the space with only quarter percent gains as investors took a breather after the sharp upmoves of late and await further signals to provide additional momentum. The benchmark in Japan also traded on a positive note for yet another session after the Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda hinted that Bank of Japan may take some action to address the yen’s gain.

Hang Seng rose 12.47 points or 0.06% to 20,426.67, Jakarta Composite added 3.42 points or 0.09% to 3,986.85, Nikkei 225 inched up 9.49 points or 0.11% to 8,858.96, Straits Times gained 3.17 points or 0.11% to 2,897.60 and Seoul Composite advanced 4.82 points or 0.25% to 1,962.00.

Stock markets in China and Taiwan remained closed on Friday in observance of Lunar New Year holiday.
