Asian markets close mostly in red on Tuesday

18 Aug 2015 Evaluate

The Asian markets closed mostly in red on Tuesday, with Shanghai Composite dropping more than 6% as investors appeared to show a delayed reaction to news that China’s market regulator would allow market forces to play a greater role in determining stock prices. Chinese home prices rose in July for a third consecutive month, fuelled by improved sales and market sentiment, suggesting the property market is slowly recovering in a rare counterpoint to a growing list of grim economic indicators. Average new home prices rose 0.3 percent in July versus June slightly slower than June’s 0.4 percent rise. Even a mild recovery in one of the country’s key sectors would provide a valuable boost for an economy heading towards its weakest growth in 25 years. Property sales bottomed out during the first half of 2015 after declining for more than a year, propped up by a barrage of government support measures since last September, including a series of interest rate cuts and lower down payment requirements. Indonesia posted a surprisingly large trade surplus in July at $1.33 billion from a revised $528 million in June. Exports in July were $11.41 billion, down 19.23 percent from a year earlier, while imports were $10.08 billion, down 28.44 percent.
