Asian markets made mostly a positive close on Thursday

08 Sep 2016 Evaluate

The Asian markets made mostly a higher closing on Thursday as Chinese trade data topped forecasts and oil extended overnight gains on API data, indicating a massive draw in crude inventories last week. The focus turned to the European Central Bank meeting later in the day, with investors waiting to see whether ECB President Mario Draghi will announce an extension of the bond-purchase program. Japanese shares closed a tad lower, dragged down by financials after the Bank of Japan deputy governor said the central bank will not rule out deepening negative interest rates to achieve its inflation target. Investors ignored revised GDP data, which showed that Japan's economy expanded at a better-than-estimated 0.7 percent annualized pace in April-June. Meanwhile, Chinese stocks fluctuated in a narrow range and finished roughly flat as positive news on the data front was offset by receding hopes for additional monetary policy support. Reports showed that China's imports unexpectedly rose in August for the first time in nearly two years, boosted by coal and other commodities, suggesting domestic demand may be picking up and putting the world's second-largest economy on a more balanced footing.
