Asian stocks mixed in pre-Christmas trading
Asian equity
markets were mixed on Wednesday, with energy-related stocks rising overnight as
crude futures settled in levels not seen since May 2015.
Japan’s Nikkei 225
index traded near breakeven despite energy names moving higher, such as Japan
Petroleum Exploration or Inpex, which added more than three percent in the
session.
Australia’s
S&P/ASX 200 also remained quiet in the day, with gains by mining components
being offset by other sectors. Energy components were also up here.
South Korea’s Kospi
headed South on Wednesday, falling under pressure as blue-chip technology
companies eased during the session, although losses were capped by manufacturers
and financial names.
Meanwhile in China,
investors kept an eye on industrial data. According to Reuters, profits by
industrial companies increased by 14.9 percent from the previous year.
Attention also fell into iPhone X sales forecast, which according to market
experts could turn into a big disappointment.
Wall Street top
three indexes closed lower on Tuesday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average standing at 24746.21, down 7.85 points or 0.03
percent and the S&P 500 at 2680.50, easing 2.84 points or 0.11 percent. The NASDAQ Composite
was down 0.34 percent at 6936.25.
