EM BulletAPACEmerging Market NewsBulletGlobalFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange BulletsRegionMarkets

Asian markets showed modest gains today, tracking a rebound on Wall Street as traders anticipate upcoming US inflation data. Japanese & Australian equities are slightly higher, supported by technology companies and a weakening yen in Japan, while Chinese stocks continue to struggle due to deflationary concerns. South Korean equities slipped as market heavyweights like Samsung and Hyundai declined. Overall, it has been a very quiet trading session with investor sentiment remaining cautious, balancing US recession fears with hopes for a soft landing and political uncertainties in the US.

  • The Nikkei 225 is underperforming today with healthcare weighing on the Index, after Daiichi dropped over 8% following mixed trial results. The Topix is higher with banks leading the way - Topix Banks Index up 1.55%.
