Asian markets trade mostly higher in early deals on Wednesday

01 Aug 2018 Evaluate

Asian markets are trading mostly in green in early deals on Wednesday, tracking the firmer Wall Street finish though reports that Washington plans to raise tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods have put the focus back on volatile Sino-US trade relations. Investors now look ahead to the US Federal Reserve's monetary policy decision due later in the day. The Fed is widely expected to leave interest rates unchanged, but the accompanying statement is likely to be closely examined for any hints about future rate hikes. Meanwhile, Japan’s Nikkei share average rose supported by a stronger Wall Street and a weaker yen, with blue chips such as Sony and Sharp gaining on strong earnings and lifting overall sentiments. Among the other Asian markets, Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea, and Indonesia are higher. Bucking the trend, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Shanghai are lower.

Nikkei 225 added 191.30 points or 0.84% to 22,745.02, Straits Times gained 4.16 points or 0.13% to 3,324.01, Jakarta Composite spurt 62.52 points or 1.04% to 5,998.96, Taiwan Weighted increased 29.64 points or 0.27% to 11,087.15, and KOSPI Index up by 8.69 points or 0.38% to 2,303.95.

On the flip side, Hang Seng dipped 7.54 points or 0.03% to 28,575.47, Shanghai Composite slipped 9.07 points or 0.32% to 2,867.33, and FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI down by 1.06 points or 0.06% to 1,783.19.
