Most of the Asian equity benchmarks are trading in green in the early deals on Thursday, in line with the firmness in US stock markets followed by the better than expected corporate earnings figure. However, Japan's Nikkei dipped due to cautious trading with the concerns about global economic growth, the ongoing US government shutdown and still lingering US- China trade dispute. Lower than expected Japan's manufacturing sector data and stronger yen also weighed on the sentiment.
Hang Seng up 36.86 points or 0.14% to 27,045.06, Straits Times jumped15.02 points or 0.47% to 3,186.13, Taiwan Weighted improve 18.60 points or 0.19% to 9,865.00, Shanghai Composite higher by 13.18 points or 0.51% to 2,594.18, KOSPI Shares increased 11.77 points or 0.55% to 2,139.55, Jakarta Composite rise 12.85 points or 0.20% to 6,464.02, and FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI up by 2.65 points or 0.76% to 1,690.79.
On the flip side, Nikkei 225 dipped 52.78 points or 0.26% to 20,540.94.
