Asian equities bounce back on supportive global leads

12 Apr 2012 Evaluate

Stock markets across Asian region largely rebounded on Thursday with most major equity indices trading with around half a percent gains. Market sentiments in the region were influenced by overnight upmove on Wall Street where equity indices rebounded after five consecutive days of fall, on the back of encouraging start of the earnings season as Alcoa Inc. reported a first-quarter profit instead of a widely expected loss. However, investors remained cautious amid geopolitical risks as North Korea's planned launch of a long-range rocket dampened the mood. Besides, marketmen also remained watchful as a day after 8.6 magnitude earthquake rattled Indonesia, reports of another strong earthquake surfaced on Wednesday from a sparsely populated area in the mountains of western Mexico which caused tall buildings to sway more than 200 miles away in Mexico City.

The benchmark in Japan halted its seven session declining run, longest since July 2009 as it traded with marginal gains taking cues from an upbeat session for US markets as investors welcomed a drop in European borrowing costs and a firm start to earnings season. However, the equity index in South Korea coming after a holiday plunged by about a percent to a fresh one month intraday low ahead of a possible missile launch by neighboring North Korea.

Shanghai Composite amassed 7.96 points or 0.34% to 2,316.89, Hang Seng moved up 44.25 points or 0.22% to 20,184.92, Jakarta Composite added 6.88 points or 0.17% to 4,136.89, KLSE Composite rose 1.94 points or 0.12% to 1,599.11, Nikkei 225 gained 11.78 points or 0.12% to 9,470.52 and Straits Times Index advanced 13.94 points or 0.47% to 2,960.38.

On the flipside Seoul Composite plunged 20.32 points or 1.02% to 1,974.09 and Taiwan Weighted eased 8.37 points or 0.11% to 7,648.30.
