Most of the Asian equity benchmarks are trading in red in early deals on Tuesday, in tandem with the intensified worries about global economy, followed by the announcement from the most valuable company in the United States, Apple Inc that it will not meet its revenue guidance for the quarter March due to virus outbreak. The company claimed that the coronavirus epidemics had slowed its production and declined its demand in China, dulling the market sentiments. Japan's Nikkei traded weaker with little moved yen, on back of mounting worries about sluggish growth in the currency bloc. Among the Asian markets, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Shanghai and Malaysian are trading lower. However, Indonesia is trading positive.
Nikkei 225 fell 353.49 points or 1.50% to 23,169.75, Straits Times dipped 17.96 points or 0.56% to 3,195.04, Hang Seng rose 433.35 points or 1.55% to 27,526.25, Taiwan Weighted narrowed 116.27 points or 0.99% to 11,647.24, KOSPI Index trimmed 30.43 points or 1.36% to 2,211.74, Shanghai decreased 11.60 points 0.39% to 2,972.02 and FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI tumbled 1.99 points or 0.13% to 1,535.13.
