Asian markets trade mostly lower in early deals on Friday

16 Jan 2015 Evaluate

Most of the Asian equity benchmarks are trading lower in the early deals on Friday following weak cues overnight from Wall Street and as the decline in crude oil price weighed on sentiment, while the Swiss National Bank's surprise move to scrap its currency cap on the franc versus the euro added volatility to markets. On the regional front, the Japanese stock market is trading lower by almost 2 percent, tracking the weak cues overnight from Wall Street and a stronger yen. The fall in crude oil prices also weighed on sentiment. On the economic front, an index measuring tertiary industrial activity in Japan was up a seasonally adjusted 0.2 percent on month in November to 99.2. That was in line with expectations following the 0.2 percent decline in October. Among other markets in the Asia-Pacific region, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan are trading lower. Meanwhile, Shanghai is up almost 1 percent and Indonesia is up with modest gains.

Nikkei 225 contracted 434.93 points or 2.54% to 16,673.77, Hang Seng dropped 243.35 points or 1% to 24,107.56, KOSPI Index dipped 27.31points or 1.43% to 1,886.83, Straits Times declined 38.55 points or 1.15% to 3,300.29, FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI slipped 3.37 points or 0.19% to 1,741.63 and Taiwan Weighted was down by 5.20 points or 0.06% to 9,159.89.

On the flip side, Jakarta Composite surged 1.81points or 0.03% to 5,190.52 and Shanghai Composite was up 34.77 points or 1.04% to 3,371.23.
