Asian equity indices are exhibiting mixed trade in early deals on Friday with Japanese Nikkei declining to its two-week low, as selling accelerated on the back of a firmer yen and disappointing quarterly earnings from the likes of Canon Inc and Advantest Corp. Meanwhile, strengthening Yen also weighed on exporter shares. The value of the yen tends to influence the Tokyo stock market as it has a direct impact on the profitability of key exporters such as Toyota and Sony. Indices like Shanghai Composite, Jakarta Composite and Taiwan Weighted too were exhibiting negative trend, while Hang Seng and KLSE Composite remained flat.
Shanghai Composite declined 16.45 points or 0.81% to 2,004.72, Jakarta Composite slipped 3.82 points or 0.08% to 4,670.30, Nikkei 225 tumbled 369.23 points or 2.54% to 14,193.70 and Taiwan Weighted was down by 16.01 points or 0.20% to 8,147.57.
On the flip side, Hang Seng rose 9.45 points or 0.04% to 21,910.41, KLSE Composite increased 1.04 points or 0.06% to 1,809.46, Straits Times added 4.25 points or 0.13% to 3,239.93 and Seoul Composite was up by 3.38 points or 0.18% to 1,912.99.
