Asian markets traded mostly in red in early deals on Wednesday, counting on sharp sell-off in Wall Street overnight and on caution ahead to testimony of Federal Reserve Chairman starting later today. Moreover, profit taking at prevailing levels also dulled Asian indices. Hang Seng extended losing streak to third straight session as the US-listed Chinese stocks wilted the most in three months overnight. Investment appeal dulled as the PBOC failed to inject proper liquidity through monetary stimulus as to stem the tumbling economic growth of the country. On the flip side, Nikkei rebounded after opening lower in the session amidst confidence buoyed by the upbeat June manufacturing data of Japan.
Hang Seng tumbled by 382.71 points or 1.95% to 19,224.37, KOSPI narrowed by 16.05 points or 0.62% to 2,588.86, Taiwan curtailed by 42.39 points or 0.25% to 17,142.52, Jakarta Composite slipped by 13.07 points or 0.20% to 6,647.39, and Shanghai diminished by 13.21 points or 0.41% to 3,227.15.
Buking the trend, Nikkei 225 up 96.82 points or 0.29% to 33,485.73, Straight times widened by 7.25 points or 0.23% to 3,227.48 and FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI rose by 2.87 points or 0.21% to 1,391.20.
