Asian markets were mostly trading in green in early deals on Thursday following the broadly positive cues from US markets overnight, as traders now feel that interest rate concerns have been priced into the markets and are indulging in picking up stocks at reduced levels following recent weakness. However, the renewed COVID-19 induced curbs in China weighed on market sentiment. Meanwhile, traders also await remarks by Fed Chair Jerome Powell later today, along with the European Central Bank's monetary policy decision.
Asian markets were trading mostly in green; Nikkei 225 surged 559.84 points or 2.04% to 27,990.14, Straits Times rose 28.71 points or 0.89% to 3,239.54, Taiwan Weighted jumped 131.91 points or 0.92% to 14,541.96, KOSPI added 12.74 points or 0.54% to 2,389.20 and Jakarta Composite soared 74.98 points or 1.04% to 7,261.74.
On the other hand, Hang Seng fell 90.60 points or 0.48% to 18,953.70 and Shanghai Composite was down by 4.68 points or 0.14% to 3,241.61.
