Asian markets trade mostly higher in early deals on Monday

06 Aug 2018 Evaluate

Asian markets are trading mostly in green in early deals on Monday following the gains on Wall Street Friday after a string of upbeat earnings, while traders digested the Labor Department’s data showing weaker than expected job growth in the month of July. The US Labor Department's report showed that non-farm payroll employment climbed by less than expected in July, while the unemployment rate edged down slightly and matched economist estimates. The data reinforced expectations of gradual interest rate hikes by the US Federal Reserve. Though, China’s stocks edge lower as Beijing’s latest tariff threats escalated the tit-for-tat Sino-US trade war, though the central bank’s efforts to shore up the tumbling yuan helped to stabilise the currency. Among the other Asian markets, Nikkei, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, South Korea, and Taiwan are higher. Bucking the trend, Shanghai and Malaysia are edging lower.

Nikkei 225 gained 11.15 points or 0.05% to 22,536.33, Hang Seng added 193.75 points or 0.70% to 27,870.07, Straits Times rose 26.19 points or 0.80% to 3,291.92, Jakarta Composite spurt 81.30 points or 1.34% to 6,088.84, Taiwan Weighted increased 1.38 points or 0.01% to 11,013.81, and KOSPI Index up by 5.52 points or 0.24% to 2,293.20.

On the flip side, Shanghai Composite slipped 21.06 points or 0.77% to 2,719.38, and FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI down by 0.69 points or 0.04% to 1,779.40.
