Most of the Asian market indices are trading in green in early deals on Monday, following the positive cues from Wall Street amid hopes of progress in US-China trade talks and the surge in crude oil prices to a near two-month high on Friday. Shares in China and Hong Kong are higher despite the Chinese economy reporting its slowest annual expansion in 28 years, as investors bet on Beijing to spend more to prop up growth. Among the other Asian markets, Nikkei, Singapore, Taiwan, Indonesia and Malaysia are higher. Bucking the trend, South Korea is lower.
Nikkei 225 added 69.60 points or 0.34% to 20,735.67, Straits Times gained 15.36 points or 0.48% to 3,239.70, Hang Seng jumped 91.10 points or 0.34% to 27,181.91, Taiwan Weighted rose 66.26 points or 0.67% to 9,902.32, Shanghai Composite increased 17.52 points or 0.67% to 2,613.53, FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI improved 9.25 points or 0.55% to 1,692.22, and Jakarta Composite up by 19.28 points or 0.30% to 6,467.66.
On the flip side, KOSPI Shares down by 1.00 points or 0.05% to 2,123.28.
