Asian equity benchmarks, paring all their initial gains, have entered mostly in the red terrain in morning deals on Wednesday. Initially regional counters made an all green start amid renewed hopes that the U.S. Federal Reserve’s asset buying program will continue till early next year. However, profit booking at higher level took toll on most of the Asian markets and benchmarks like Shanghai Composite, Hang Seng and Nikkei, all turned red after a positive opening. Japanese Nikkei share average, having touched a three and a half week high earlier, declined by over a percent as a stronger yen took a heavy toll.
Shanghai Composite declined 25.79 points or 1.17% to 2,184.87, Hang Seng slipped 16.05 points or 0.07% to 23,299.94, Nikkei 225 dropped 181.33 points or 1.23% to 14,531.92, Seoul Composite shed 14.43 points or 0.70% to 2,041.69 and Taiwan Weighted was down by 26.14 points or 0.31% to 8,392.13.
On the flip side, Jakarta Composite surged 52.06 points or 1.15% to 4,564.81, KLSE Composite rose 11.09 points or 0.61% to 1,814.67 and Straits Times was up by 11.29 points or 0.35% to 3,221.50.
