Asian markets traded mixed in early deals on Monday, due to risk aversion amid growing uncertainties over hawkish Federal Reserve and woes over global recession. Moreover, new covid-19 lockdowns in China with its zero Covid policy, and energy crisis in Europe also dulled investor sentiments. Japan’s Nikkei eased in the session, marking seven week low level, counting on weakness in Wall Street and as service sector data of Japan diminished for August for the first time since March. Shanghai stocks eked some gains with some technical correction, after posting their third straight weekly decline. Some gains remained trimmed with the weak domestic data and renewed Covid lockdowns in major cities.
Nikkei 225 down by 23.40 points or 0.08% to 27,627.44, KOSPI narrowed by 10.18 points or 0.42% to 2,399.23, Hang Seng lost 248.85 points 1.28% to 19,203.24, and FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI curtailed by 0.76 points or 0.05% to 1,490.42.
On flip side, Straight times up 7.95 points or 0.25% to 3,213.64, Taiwan higher by 4.94 points or 0.03% to 14,677.98, Jakarta Composite rose by 43.67 points or 0.61% to 7,220.85 and Shanghai was up by 3.06 points or 0.10% to 3,189.54.
