All the Asian markets, barring Japanese Nikkei, are trading in the green terrain in early deals on Friday as sentiments continued to remain jubilant for second day in a row following the U.S. government’s decision to increase borrowing authority and end the partial shutdown. Back on regional turf, Shanghai Composite surged around half a percent after China’s economy grew 7.8% in the third quarter, its fastest pace this year and in line with expectations, as firmer foreign and domestic demand lifted factory production and retail sales. Meanwhile, the nation’s factory output in September rose 10.2% from a year earlier, slightly above expectations of 10.1% and slowing down from August’s annual pace of 10.4%. However, Japanese stock market slipped into the red in early trades, with investors taking some profits after seven successive days of gains.
Shanghai Composite rose 9.49 points or 0.43% to 2,198.03, Hang Seng surged 148.58 points or 0.64% to 23,243.46, KLSE Composite gained 0.11 points or 0.01% to 1,797.53, Jakarta Composite increased 2.19 points or 0.05% to 4,521.12, Straits Times strengthened 6.94 points or 0.22% to 3,193.56, Seoul Composite added 2.81 points or 0.14% to 2,043.42 and Taiwan Weighted was up by 38.15 points or 0.46% to 8,412.83.
On the flip side, Nikkei 225 was down by 24.86 points or 0.17% to 14,561.65.
