Asian markets trade mixed on Friday

18 Nov 2016 Evaluate

Most of the Asian equity benchmarks are trading mixed on Friday, with the Japanese market leading gains on the back of a relatively weaker yen, helping shares of the country's big exporters. While other Asian benchmarks wobbled after Fed chair Janet Yellen signaled that policymakers intend to raise interest rates soon. In remarks to Congress, Yellen suggested the US central bank is on track to raise interest rates when policymakers hold their final meeting of the year in December. She said the improving US economy has bolstered the case for raising rates, in comments that increased certainty for investors. Yellen also dismissed speculation she may resign due to criticism from President-elect Donald Trump. Among the other Asian markets, Shanghai, Indonesia, Malaysia, and South Korea are trading lower, while the Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan markets are in positive territory.

Shanghai Composite decreased by 7.03 points or 0.22% to 3,201.42, Jakarta Composite declined 37.93 points or 0.73% to 5,155.09, FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI slipped by 5.97 points or 0.37% to 1,620.80, and KOSPI Index was down by 6.75 points or 0.34% to 1,973.80.

On the flip side, Nikkei 225 spurted by 133.46 points or 0.75% to 17,996.09, Hang Seng soared 40.08 points or 0.18% to 22,302.96, Taiwan Weighted increased 27.82 points or 0.31% to 9,023.08 and Straits Times was up by 19.20 points or 0.68% to 2,832.68.
