Asian markets trade mostly lower on Thursday

11 May 2023 Evaluate

Asian markets are trading mostly lower on Thursday as traders remain cautious and assess the global economic and monetary policy outlook after US inflation slows to below 5 percent for the first time two years. There is some cautiousness that the slowdown in the pace of price growth is partly due to the U.S. heading for a recession. The Japanese stock market is trading modestly lower with weakness in market heavyweights and financial stocks. On the economic data front, the Ministry of Finance said Japan had a current account surplus of 2.278 trillion yen in March, - down 29.6 percent on year. That was shy of expectations for a surplus of 2.947 trillion yen and up from 2.197 trillion yen in February. Imports were up 7.1 percent on year at 9.242 trillion yen, while exports rose 3.6 percent to 8.788 trillion yen for a trade deficit of 454.4 billion yen. The capital account saw a deficit of 67.4 billion yen in March, while the financial account had a surplus of 2.191 trillion yen.

Taiwan Weighted lost 92.69 points or 0.59% to 15,549.07, Jakarta Composite plunged 79 points or 1.16% to 6,732.91, Hang Seng declined 38.78 points or 0.2% to 19,723.42, Straits Times fell 10.39 points or 0.32% to 3,231.90 and Shanghai Composite weakened 3.6 points or 0.11% to 3,315.55. 

On the other hand, KOSPI increased 6.96 points or 0.28% to 2,503.47 and Nikkei 225 was up by 1.89 points or 0.01% to 29,124.07.
