Asian markets traded in red in early deals on Thursday, as the market sentiments dulled on woes over impasse in US debt ceiling. Negotiations between President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy over lifting the US debt limit have not reached consensus so far. Moreover, China-US geopolitical tensions, global chip war, and fears over a potential resurgence of COVID cases in China during June also saddled investor sentiments. Hang Seng of Hong Kong marked the sharpest loss among Asian indices today, registering third consecutive loss and the first fall below the 19,000 mark since March 20th. Bucking the trend, Japan’s Nikkei advanced with the rally in tech stocks mirroring gains in Nasdaq futures as Nvidia shares surged on upbeat quarterly results and robust revenue guidance driven by AI chip demand.
Hang Seng down by 395.33 points or 2.11% to 18,720.60, Straight times declined by 5.59 points or 0.17% to 3,208.62 , KOSPI curtailed by 13.15 points or 0.51% to 2,554.30, Shanghai narrowed by 21.00 points or 0.66% to 3,183.75, Jakarta Composite diminished 27.46 points or 0.41% to 6,718.34 and FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI saddled by 1.69 points or 0.12% to 1,407.93.
On the flip side, Nikkei 225 up 132.56 points or 0.43% to 30,815.24, and Taiwan rose by 127.38 points or 0.79% to 16,286.70.
