Asian equities showcase sluggish performance on Thursday

26 Apr 2012 Evaluate

Stock markets in the Asian region showcased a sluggish performance on Thursday with most equity indices gyrating in an extremely tight range around their previous closing levels. The bourses showed a mixed picture as on one hand the Chinese markets slipped marginally lower after a positive start, while on the other hand the Japanese shares traded with slight gains. The downside in the region’s equity markets was capped as sentiments remained influenced by overnight rally on Wall Street post unexpectedly encouraging earnings from heavyweight Apple Inc. Besides, the US Federal reserve leaving the door open for more stimulus measures ahead and reaffirmed to its commitment to the ultra-loose monetary policy to help the world’s largest economy gradually pick up steam, infusing some confidence among investors. 

The benchmark in South Korea gained one third of a percent in the session after official reports showed nation’s gross domestic product grew a modest 2.8 percent on-year in the first quarter while it expanded by 0.9 percent from the previous three months. However, the equity index in Singapore remained the top laggard in the space with a quarter percent cut.

Hang Seng added 103.55 points or 0.50% to 20,749.84, Jakarta Composite climbed 30.24 points or 0.73% to 4,193.88, Nikkei 225 rose 10.56 points or 0.11% to 9,571.57 and Seoul Composite gained 6.52 points or 0.33% to 1,968.50.

On the other hand, Shanghai Composite eased 2.11 points or 0.09% to 2,404.70, KLSE Composite lost 0.26 points or 0.02% to 1,579.09, Straits Times Index fell 7.03 points or 0.24% to 2,972.75 and Taiwan Weighted dropped 3.60 points or 0.05% to 7,559.58.
