Asian markets end 2017 without a clear direction
Asian equity
markets were mixed in the last session of 2017 amid low trading activity and an
empty economic calendar ahead of the day.
No relevant data
was released in Asia.
US top three stock
benchmarks ended higher on Thursday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average
pushing to the upside after closing at a fresh record high. IBM and United
Health were among the best performing components of the index during the
session.
Dow Jones 63.21 0.26% 24837.51
S&P 500 Index 4.92 0.18% 2687.54
NASDAQ Composite 10.82 0.16% 6950.16
The US goods trade
balance for November moved to a $69.68 billion deficit from a previous reading
of $68.10 billion. The figure came in above an estimated deficit of $67.60
billion.
In other news, the
number of people applying for unemployment benefits in the United States was at
245,000, above a forecasted reduction of 5,000 to 240,000.
President Donald
Trump warned China on Thursday about continuing to supply oil to North Korea,
which breaks with a recent resolution of the United Nations Security Council.
"If they don't
help us with North Korea, then I can do what I've always said I want to
do," the Republican leader said in an interview with The Times.
Commodities
remained on the positive side as the American currency fails to find bullish
support for a rebound. The US dollar index was trading lower at 92.28 in early
hours on Friday.
On the Comex
division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, gold futures were up 0.04 percent
at $1.297.70 a troy ounce as of 06:30 GMT.
The US West Texas
Intermediate crude contracts were up 0.69 percent to $60.25 per barrel as of
06:30 GMT. Meanwhile, Brent futures eased 0.18 percent to $66.60 a barrel.
