Asian markets exhibit mixed trend in early deals on Tuesday

13 Dec 2016 Evaluate

Asian markets are exhibiting mixed trend in the early deals on Tuesday, tracking the lackluster cues overnight from Wall Street and on caution ahead of the US Federal Reserve's monetary policy announcement on Wednesday. The Fed is widely expected to increase interest rates by 25 basis points, reflecting the first rate hike in a year. The Fed's accompanying statement will be in focus, as traders gauge the outlook for further monetary policy normalization by the central bank. Chinese shares extended their declines, shrugging off better than expected retail sales and industrial data as investors await a widely expected Federal Reserve rate hike this week. Economic data for November showed relatively strong activity. Industrial production grew 6.2 percent from a year ago, up from October's 6.1 percent. Growth in investment in real estate and other fixed assets held steady at 8.8 percent, though growth in private sector investment declined to 4.6 percent from October's 5.1 percent. Among the other Asian markets, Nikkei, South Korea, Taiwan and Malaysia are also higher. Bucking the trend, Singapore, Hong Kong and Indonesia are lower.

Nikkei 225 gained 16.25 points or 0.08% to 19,171.28, KOSPI Index added 2.06 points or 0.10% to 2,029.30, Taiwan Weighted jumped 11.52 points or 0.12% to 9,361.46, and FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI was up by 1.59 points or 0.10% to 1,643.01.

On the flip side, Shanghai Composite dropped 20.83 points or 0.66% to 3,132.14, Hang Seng dipped 81.59 points or 0.36% to 22,351.43, Jakarta Composite slipped 38.45 points or 0.72% to 5,269.68, and Straits Times was down by 11.33 points or 0.38% to 2,940.86.
