The Asian markets closed mixed on Monday, with Chinese markets touching fresh multi-year highs in early trades. Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda stated that he told Prime Minister Shinzo Abe that inflation is slowing due to a decline in oil prices but there is no change in the long-term rising trend for consumer prices as the economy improves. Kuroda added that he also told Abe that the economy remains on a gradual recovery path. The meeting occurred at a time when slowing inflation is testing the BOJ’s ability to meet its 2 percent consumer price growth target, and raising questions about whether additional monetary easing is needed later this year to keep prices on track. Taiwanese Industrial Production fell to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.32%, from 8.14% in the preceding month.
