Asian markets trade mostly higher in early deals on Thursday

31 Oct 2019 Evaluate

Most of the Asian equity benchmarks are trading higher on Thursday, following positive trend from Wall street overnight after the Federal Reserve trimmed its benchmark interest rate for the third straight meeting, by a quarter percentage point to between 1.5%-1.75%, but hinted that it would monitor the economic outlook as it assesses its next decision on rates. However, dulled prospects of US- China's phase one of a trade deal following news that Chile cancelled the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit scheduled to be held in Santiago, pared some gains. Japan's Nikkei is advancing after upbeat Japanese industrial output data, and as traders eyed for cues ahead of the Bank of Japan's monetary policy decision due later today. Among the other Asian markets, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Malaysia are in upward momentum. Bucking the trend, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Shanghai are lower. 

Nikkei 225 up 84.75 points 0.37% to 22,927.87, Straits Times rose 18.46 points or 0.58% to 3,226.38, Hang Seng lifted 281.37 points or 1.06% to 26,949.08, KOSPI Index widened 19.94 points or 0.96% to 2,100.21, and FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI increases 5.74 points or 0.36% to 1,585.74.

On the flip side, Taiwan Weighted down 0.58 points or 0.01% to 11,379.70, Jakarta Composite declined by 34.34cpoints or 0.55% to 6,261.41 and Shanghai dipped 2.68 points 0.09% to 2,936.64.
