Asian markets trade mostly higher in early deals on Monday

04 Apr 2016 Evaluate

Most of the Asian equity benchmarks are trading higher in the early deals on Monday, after solid US jobs data underscored a steady economic recovery in the world’s largest economy, which kept the prospect of gradual rate increases in play. The US Labor Department's closely-watched monthly jobs report said that non-farm payroll employment climbed by 215,000 jobs in March after jumping by an upwardly revised 245,000 in February. Economists had expected an increase of about 210,000 jobs. Nonetheless, the Labor Department also said the unemployment rate inched up to 5.0 percent in March from 4.9 percent in February. The unemployment rate had been expected to remain unchanged. Meanwhile, the Japanese market is lower with a stronger yen weighing on exporters' shares. Among the other Asian markets, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea and Taiwan are modestly higher. The markets in Taiwan, China and Hong Kong are closed for Ching Ming Festival.

Jakarta Composite gained 7.08 points or 0.15% to 4,850.27, Straits Times surged 21.52 points or 0.76% to 2,840.01, FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI jumped 8.68 points or 0.51% to 1,719.23, and KOSPI Index was up by 2.74 points or 0.14% to 1,976.31.

On the flip side, Nikkei 225 was down by 54.56 points or 0.34% to 16,109.60.
