Bleak global cues lead Asian equities to resume downtrend

16 Apr 2012 Evaluate

Asian equity indices got off to a dismal opening on first day of the new week with most markets continuing to trade lower by around half to one percent. Sentiments in the region were pessimistic as market participants remained influenced by the plunge in US markets over weekend. Apart from the US concerns the regional worries too have gripped the investors, as Bank of Korea cut its economic growth estimate and concern grew that Europe's debt crisis is deepening. Euro-zone debt woes threatened to intensify again as yield on Spain’s 10-year government bond rose to 5.93 percent and Italy’s rose to 5.52 percent last week, indicating waning investor conviction.

The benchmark in Japan got thrashed by around one and half a percent and halted the two session gaining trend amid fresh worries over the onerous Euro-zone debt crisis, pummeling major exporters with exposure to the region as well as big banks and brokers. The Indonesian market on the other hand remained the only market to show a green tick as it traded with marginal gains.

Shanghai Composite dropped 6.76 points or 0.29% to 2,352.40, Hang Seng sank 145.06 points or 0.70% to 20,555.98, KLSE Composite slipped 3.45 points or 0.22% to 1,599.67, Nikkei 225 plummeted 139.31 points or 1.45% to 9,498.68, Straits Times Index eased 0.17 points or 0.01% to 2,987.71, Seoul Composite plunged 19.77 points or 0.98% to 1,989.14 and Taiwan Weighted declined 50.69 points or 0.65% to 7,737.58.

On the flipside, Jakarta Composite gained 4.16 points or 0.10% to 4,163.44.
