Stock markets across the Asian region largely bounced back after drifting to lowers in last session as barring the South Korean benchmark, all other indices are trading with good gains. Sentiments in the region were mainly influenced by overnight rally in US markets amid intensifying hopes that additional stimulus is on its way from the US Federal Reserve following the initial jobless claims data which rose for the fifth time in last six weeks and as consumer prices fell 0.3 percent in May, the biggest drop in more than three years. Also reports that central banks from major economies are preparing for coordinated action to provide liquidity if needed after the Greek election this weekend.
The benchmark in Hong Kong jumped over a percent in the session and led the gainers in Asian space on hopes of collective efforts by central bankers to stimulate world economy. However, the equity index in South Korea remained the only laggard in the space as it traded with close to a percent cut after heavyweight Samsung plummeted by three percent as operations at some of its flat-panel-manufacturing lines were suspended.
Shanghai Composite rose 1.46 points or 0.06% to 2,297.40, Hang Seng Index surged 216.96 points or 1.15% to 19,025.36, Jakarta Composite advanced 16.54 points or 0.44% to 3,808.16, KLSE Composite rose 7.13 points or 0.45% to 1,578.07, Nikkei 225 ascended 26.99 points or 0.31% to 8,595.88, Straits Times Index gained 10.49 points or 0.38% to 2,784.30 and Taiwan Weighted 74.23 points or 1.05% to 7,149.33.
