Asian markets trade mixed in early deals on Friday

04 Aug 2023 Evaluate

Asian markets traded mixed in early deals on Friday, as the indices struggled to gain traction with the concerns over global economic health followed by the monetary policy moves of major central banks. Risk aversion ahead to key US non-farm payroll data due later in the day also dulled investor sentiments. Hang Seng rose most among Asian indices rebounding from past three sessional losses in conjunction with the better than expected Chinese services sector growth data in July, and on signs of improvement in manufacturing activity. Bucking the trend, Japan’s Nikkei retreated amid woes after credit rating down grade of US. Meanwhile, participants continued to track the yen and JGB yields after the Bank of Japan made adjustments to its yield curve control policy at last week’s meeting.

Hang Seng up by 191.72 points or 0.98% to 19,612.59, KOSPI rose by 2.32 points or 0.09% to 2,607.71, Shanghai added by 15.45 points or 0.47% to 3,295.91, and FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI higher by 3.48 points or 0.24% to 1,445.33.

On the flip side, Nikkei 225 down 31.32 points or 0.10 to 32,127.96, Straight times slipped by 6.15 points or 0.19% to 3,297.91, Taiwan lower by 43.12 points or 0.26% to 16,850.61, and Jakarta Composite dipped by 14.98 points or 0.22% to 6,883.10.
