Most of the Asian markets traded higher in early deals on Friday, kindled by the technical buying after hefty correction with the woes ahead to next week's US Fed monetary policy meeting. Additionally, risk sentiments improved after Chinese authorities pledged to boost consumption and provided support measures to select industries this week. Meanwhile, reports that Chinese authorities are to consider easing home-buying restrictions in the biggest cities, potentially removing a hurdle that has curbed demand in Beijing and Shanghai also raised investor sentiments. Hang Seng advanced the most among Asian indices, snapping its three-day losses tracking positive global indices overnight. Bucking the trend Japan’s Nikkei extended its previous sessional loss followed by slight acceleration in Japan’s annual headline and core inflation rates for June and on caution ahead to the Bank of Japan’s policy decision next week.
