Asian markets trade mixed in early deals on Friday

23 Aug 2024 Evaluate
Asian markets traded mixed in early deals on Friday, as the risk appetite in the market has been dulled ahead of today’s Kansas City Fed's Jackson Hole Economic Symposium. Market awaits for Powell’s speech for further insights on interest rate cut decisions. Profit taking after previous sessional rallies and trade frictions between China and the EU, also saddled local indices. Shanghai index slipped for the fourth straight session amid market concerns about China’s economic outlook. Bucking the trend Japan’s Nikkei advanced after Japan’s core inflation rate accelerated for the third consecutive month to 2.7% in July, supporting the Bank of Japan’s hawkish shift this year. Moreover, weaker local currency yen also boosted foreign investments. Meanwhile, market is now awaiting updates from BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda’s testimony before Japan’s parliament today as legislators scrutinize the central bank’s decision to raise interest rates in July. 

Nikkei 225 up by 131.39 points or 0.34% to 38,342.40, Straight times rose by 6.67 points or 0.20% to 3,380.25, KOSPI widened by 1.12 points or 0.04% to 2,708.79, and Jakarta Composite added by 55.08 points or 0.73% to 7,543.76.

On flip side, Hang Seng dipped by 58.94 points or 0.33% to 17,582.06, Taiwan down by 6.83 points or 0.03% to 22,142.00, Shanghai reduced by 3.16 points or 0.11% to 2,845.61 and FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI shrunk by 4.86 points or 0.30% to 1,636.80.
