A day after reeling under pressure on reports of widening Chinese trade deficit, stock markets across Asia ricocheted on Tuesday as investors remained in an optimistic mood after Greece implemented the biggest debt writedown in history and bonds with a total face value of $222 billion were swapped. The mixed close on overnight Wall Street failed to give any decisive direction to the markets in the region however, market participants added positions with conviction ahead to meetings of the US Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan.
The benchmark in China after initial hiccups has regained some vitality and is trading with around a quarter percent gains. Barring the markets in Indonesia and Malaysia which are trading with marginal gains, most other indices have gained significant ground in the session. The Nikkei 225 in Tokyo surged around a percent and was just shy of regaining the psychological 1,000 levels as investors took positions in defensive plays ahead of Bank of Japan’s meeting.
