Asian markets trade mostly higher in early deals on Friday

15 Jul 2016 Evaluate

Most of the Asian equity benchmarks are trading up in the early deals on Friday, following the fresh record highs overnight on Wall Street and on better-than-expected Chinese economic data. These helped offset the negative sentiment following news that at least 80 people were killed in a deadly attack in the French Riviera city of Nice. Meanwhile, the National Bureau of Statistics said that China's gross domestic product expanded 6.7 percent on year in the second quarter of 2016. That was unchanged from the previous month, but it topped expectations for 6.6 percent. Data also showed that China's industrial production as well as retail sales for June increased year-over-year and beat expectations. Meanwhile, Japan's Nikkei share average rose to a five-week high and was on track for a fifth day of gains, lifted by a continuing record run on Wall Street and a sagging yen. Among the other Asian markets, South Korea, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia and Taiwan are all higher. Bucking the trend, Shanghai is in negative territory.

Nikkei 225 added 184.71 points or 1.13% to 16,570.60, Hang Seng gained 134.33 points or 0.62% to 21,695.39, Straits Times jumped 19.12 points or 0.66% to 2,926.04, KOSPI Index rose 8.84 points or 0.44% to 2,017.61, Jakarta Composite increased 26.28 points or 0.52% to 5,109.82, FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI spurt 9.31 points or 0.56% to 1,664.09, and Taiwan Weighted was up by 68.70 points or 0.77% to 8,935.06.

On the flip side, Shanghai Composite was down by 1.64 points or 0.05% to 3,052.38.
