Asian markets trade mixed in early deals on Monday

21 Aug 2023 Evaluate
Asian markets traded mixed in early deals on Monday, due to risk aversion in market after the stronger than expected US economic data spooked chances of continued interest rate hikes by Federal Reserve. Market sentiments also dampened with the disappointing China rate cut. The People’s Bank of China trimmed its one-year loans prime rate by 10 basis points to 3.45%, though kept the five-year loan prime rate unchanged at 4.2%. Investments were also capped amid cautious ahead of US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s address at the central bank’s annual symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming later this week. Bucking the trend, Japan’s Nikkei rebounded from last week with the bargain hunting in almost all sectors. Meanwhile, Japan’s headline inflation rate came in above projections for July, while the core inflation print slowed as expected, but remained above the Bank of Japan’s target. 

Nikkei 225 up 175.18 points or 0.56% to 31,625.94, Jakarta Composite rose by 18.23 points or 0.27% to 6,878.14, KOSPI lifted by 8.46 points or 0.34% to 2,512.96, and FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI higher by 1.30 points or 0.09% to 1,447.39.

On the flip side, Straight times dipped by 14.24 points or 0.45% to 3,159.69, Hang Seng slipped by 247.77 points or 1.40% to 17,703.08, Taiwan down by 11.53 points or 0.07% to 16,369.78, and Shanghai diminished by 11.77 points or 0.38% to 3,120.18.
