Asian markets trade mostly lower in early deals on Thursday

19 Jan 2017 Evaluate

Most of the Asian equity benchmarks are trading down in the early deals on Thursday after Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen hinted that interest rates in the United States could rise quickly this year. Besides, lackluster cues overnight from Wall Street and caution ahead of US President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on Friday also fuelled the downtrend. The Japanese market is rising, as the yen weakened against the US dollar. Upbeat comments from Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen about the US economy also boosted investor sentiment. Among the other Asian markets, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia and South Korea are lower. Bucking the trend, Singapore and Indonesia are up with modest gains.

Hang Seng dropped 136.27 points or 0.59% to 22,961.99, Shanghai Composite slipped 1.81 points or 0.06% to 3,111.20, FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI decreased 1.41 points or 0.08% to 1,663.61, KOSPI Index dipped 0.40 points or 0.02% to 2,070.14, and Taiwan Weighted was down by 15.50 points or 0.17% to 9,326.47.

On the flip side, Nikkei 225 rose 144.97 points or 0.77% to 19,039.34, Straits Times added 4.36 points or 0.15% to 3,004.58, and Jakarta Composite was up by 8.54 points or 0.16% to 5,303.32.
