Free AccessRegional Asian Equities Follow US Markets Higher
Asian equity markets are higher today, after US equities edged higher on Thursday, following stronger-than-expected Jobless Claims. There is little in the way of economic data out in the APAC region today, and haven't seen any major headlines out. Equity flows were mixed on Thursday, however were largely positive over the past week, with the exception of India and Indonesia who have seen 23 of the past 25 days of net selling by foreign investors. As we look ahead to next week, we have Japan GDP & Industrial Production, Australian & South Korean Employment data, New Zealand Food Price Index and Indian CPI.
- Japanese equities have opened higher today after US jobs data showed signs of a cooling labor market that supported the case for Federal Reserve rate cuts this year. Earlier, we had Household Spending we beat estimates falling just 1.2% vs -2.3% and also BoP Current Account Balance which came in at ¥3398.8b and just below consensus at ¥3454.6b. The Nikkei is 0.77% higher, while the Topix performers slightly better up 0.83%.
- South Korean equities have following global peers higher today. The Kospi is comfortably above all major moving averages, while the RSI and MACD indicators have edged higher, signaling buyers remain well in control. It has been a quiet week for headlines out of South Korea and looking ahead we just have the unemployment rate next Friday. The Kospi is up 0.46%.
- Taiwan equities are slightly higher today, after yesterday saw foreign investors selling local stocks. There is little in the way of headlines out of the region today and looking ahead there is nothing on the data calendar for the coming week, moves will largely be dependent on global peers and in particular global semiconductor prices. The Taiex is up 0.80% from recent lows and 0.20% today.
- Australian equities much like others in the region have edged higher, following gains in the US. Mining and financials are the top performing sectors in the region, with the ASX200 now on track for it's third week of gains. The ASX200 is up 0.44% today.
- Elsewhere in SEA, New Zealand equities are down 0.07%, Singapore equities up 0.65%, Philippines equities up 0.1% after yesterday falling 1.75% and below the 200-day EMA support.
