Asian markets trade mostly lower in early deals on Thursday

20 Oct 2022 Evaluate
Most of the Asian markets traded lower in early deals on Thursday, pressured by the concerns over global economic slowdown followed by pivot acceleration in UK inflation. Moreover, rising Treasury bond yields and the stronger US dollar with the sharper Fed interest rate hikes also dulled Asian equity investments. Japan’s Nikkei gave away its two straight sessional gains in line with a negative Wall Street overnight. Meanwhile, investors also digested the data showcasing trade deficit due to surge in imports overwhelming growth in exports, with the weakening of local currency yen. Japan reports 2 trillion yen ($13.34 billion) trade deficit, extending the run of shortfalls to 14 months. While, Hang Seng extended losses to the second straight day as the traders counted on new government’s silence on Hong Kong's economic indicators in the middle of the party congress in China. Intensified concerns over China’s economic health also saddled investments.

Nikkei 225 down by 314.95 points or 1.16% to 26,967.68, Straight times dipped 6.14 points or 0.20% to 3,016.66, Hang Seng decreased by 400.30 points or 2.42% to 16,110.98, Taiwan lower by 239.47 points or 1.85% to 12,737.29, KOSPI narrowed by 25.57 points or 1.14% to 2,211.87, and Shanghai declined by 11.75 points or 0.39% to 3,032.63. 

On flip side, FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI added by 12.33 points or 0.87% to 1,427.43, and Jakarta Composite rose by 95.72 points or 1.40% to 6,956.14.
