Asian markets trade lower in early deals on Friday

08 Jul 2016 Evaluate

Asian equity benchmarks are trading lower in the early deals on Friday, tracking the lackluster cues from Wall Street and the fall in crude oil prices overnight. Investors preferred to stay on the sidelines ahead of the release of the key US monthly jobs report later in the day. The US Labor Department's monthly jobs report is expected to show an increase of about 180,000 jobs in June after employment edged up by just 38,000 jobs in May. The unemployment rate is expected to tick up to 4.8 percent from 4.7 percent. With the Federal Reserve indicating it would wait for additional data regarding labor market conditions before removing monetary accommodation, the June jobs report could have an impact on the outlook for interest rates. Meanwhile, Japanese stocks turned lower as investors, grappling with the Brexit uncertainty, nervously awaited the closely-watched US non-farm payrolls report due later in the day. Among the other Asian markets, Shanghai, Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia are also lower. Markets in Taiwan are closed on Friday due to Typhoon Nepartak, while markets in Indonesia remain closed for Eid-ul-Fitr.

Nikkei 225 slipped 135.80 points or 0.89% to 15,140.44, Hang Seng contracted 218.21 points or 1.05% to 20,488.71, Straits Times dipped 25.78 points or 0.90% to 2,836.39, KOSPI Index declined 12.83 points or 0.65% to 1,961.25, FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI decreased 5.82 points or 0.35% to 1,644.89, and Shanghai Composite was down by 26.17 points or 0.87% to 2,990.68.
