Asian markets end mixed on Thursday

01 Jun 2017 Evaluate

Asian equity markets made a mixed closing on Thursday, with Chinese shares starting the month on a bearish note after a private business survey showed manufacturing activity unexpectedly contracted in May, fuelling worries that the economy may be cooling more rapidly than expected. The latest survey from Caixin revealed a manufacturing PMI score of 49.6, down from 50.3 in April and missing forecasts for a score of 50.1. Other regional manufacturing reports painted a mixed picture, with activity in Japan's manufacturing sector expanding at a faster rate in May and Australia's manufacturing sector expanding at a slower pace, while South Korea's manufacturing activity remained in contraction. Investors keenly awaited Friday's US non-farm payrolls numbers as a positive report could pave the way for a rate hike in mid-June. Traders also awaited US President Donald Trump's decision on whether the US will pull out of the historic Paris climate accord. Meanwhile, Japanese shares snapped a four-day losing streak, lifted by upbeat domestic data.
