Mixed session for Asian stock indexes; new data in focus

Posted by Anonymous at 09:37 Labels: this is interesting , Wall Street , what’s next

Top stock indexes in Asia were mixed on Wednesday following previous session gains, with the dollar extending into negative territory against its major rivals.

Earlier today, the Japanese trade balance for December came in at 359 billion yen, falling short from an initially estimated 530 billion yen surplus. The adjusted trade balance was at 0.09 trillion yen, compared to 0.27 trillion eyed. Exports rose by 9.3 percent against a 10.1 percent seen.

The Nikkei 225 was down by approximately one percent after reaching a 26-year high in the prior session. Downward pressure was underpinned by a falling greenback, which makes the yen more expensive and therefore weighs on Japanese exporters.

In Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 was higher by half a percent, with the country’s top four financial institutions rising, despite mining components were down.

Asian equities followed a mixed close in Wall Street, with the Nasdaq ending at a fresh record high on the back of Netflix’s better-than-expected corporate earnings report for the fourth-quarter, while the Dow Jones and the S&P 500 failed to secure gains.
