Asian markets traded higher in early deals on Monday, as the weaker than expected December US Jobs data spurred bets on more Fed interest rate cuts later this year. Additionally, optimism toward the AI sector and easing deflation risks in China also kindled the indices. Rally in technological and financial sector stocks led the gains. Japan’s Nikkei is closed for Coming of Age (Adults') Day holiday. Taiwan weighted spurred the most among Asian indices after Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) reported upbeat revenue late last week.
Taiwan weighted spurred by 322.39 points or 1.06% to 30,611.35, Straits Times up by 32.99 points or 0.70% to 4,777.65, Hang Seng buoyed by 247.21 points 0.93% to 26,479.00, KOSPI Index increased by 34.08 points or 0.74% to 4,620.40, Jakarta Composite widened by 30.84 points 0.34% to 8,967.59, Shanghai Composite climbed by 30.71 points or 0.75% to 4,151.14, and FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI index was up by 6.74 points or 0.40% to 1,693.28.
