Asian markets trade mostly lower in early deals on Thursday

11 Feb 2016 Evaluate

Most of the Asian equity benchmarks are trading down in the early deals on Thursday after the US Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen's dovish comments failed to bolster investor sentiment and as crude oil prices remained volatile. In her semi-annual monetary policy report prepared for delivery to the House Financial Services, Yellen admitted that ‘downside risks’ from exposure to the slowing Chinese economy could hurt the US. Although Fed projections call for three or four rate hikes this year, Yellen said that monetary policy is not on a preset course and reiterated the oft-repeated statement that the path of the federal funds rate will depend on incoming data. Meanwhile, Stocks in Hong Kong dropped amid catching up with deep selloffs in the region as the market reopened after an extended Lunar New Year holiday. Among the other Asian markets, Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia are marginally lower. Bucking the trend, Indonesia is up with modest gains. The markets in China and Taiwan remain closed for the Lunar New Year holiday, while Japan is shut for the National Foundation Day.

Hang Seng slipped 762.14 points or 3.95% to 18,526.03, Straits Times dropped 19.89 points or 0.77% to 2,562.21, KOSPI Index decreased 55.10 points or 2.87% to 1,862.69, and FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI was down by 2.63 points or 0.16% to 1,641.78.

On the flip side, Jakarta Composite was up by 36.98 points or 0.78% to 4,769.46.
