Majority of stock markets in Asia sustained the positive momentum in Tuesday trades as investors took heart in an undervalued market amid hopes that the Euro-zone policy makers are pushing towards new measures to rescue the currency union from a terrible debt debacle. Sentiments in the region got filliped on the back of a welcome change of direction for Wall Street which rallied sharply overnight after registering around four percent losses last week. Investors also were hopeful that Germany and France are discussing a deal to fast-track European budget and financial coordination that does not require renegotiating European Union treaties which could reassure the financial markets.
The benchmark in South Korea was the leading gainer in the region as it traded with strong gains of around one and half a percent thanks to the rally in technology counter which got underpinned by records sales during the Thanksgiving weekend. Shares in Tokyo too climbed by around a percent, led by the sharp upmove in shipping and steelmaker names.
Shanghai Composite rose 13.27 points or 0.56% to 2,396.30, Hang Seng gained 59.87 points or 0.33% to 18,097.68, Jakarta Composite advanced 16.81 points or 0.46% to 3,663.86, KLSE Composite ascended 12.43 points or 0.87% to 1,443.98, Nikkei 225 amassed 67.43 points or 0.81% to 8,354.92, Seoul Composite surged 25.55 points or 1.41% to 1,840.83 and Taiwan Weighted climbed 51.30 points or 0.74% to 6,950.08.
