Free AccessRegional Asian Equities Lower, AU Federal Budget Tomorrow
Asian equity markets are mixed today, Taiwan equities are the top performing market led by the semiconductor sector. There isn't much on the data calendar today, earlier we have NZ Food prices which increased from the month prior and Australia's NAB business survey's which show business conditions had fallen from the month prior.
- Japanese equities are little changed today, the real estate sector is the worst performing. There has been little in the way of headlines out of the region, with government officials staying surprising quiet on the currency so far today, the yen continued to slip on Friday and we currently trade little changed on the day at 155.75. The Nikkei 225 is up 4.10% from the lows on Apr 19th but has failed to break back above the 20 & 50-day EMAs and trades down 0.32%, the Topix has performed slightly better over the same period up 5% and holds above all moving averages, however trades down 0.30%
- South Korean equities are lower today, earlier April household spending rose to KRW1,103.6T from KR1098.5t in March. The Kospi continues to comfortably hold above all major moving averages, while the RSI is holding above 50 and MACD indicator is holding steady, signaling buyers still remain in control, the index is down 0.43% today.
- Taiwan equities are the top performers today, flows turned positive again on Friday as investors continue buying up semiconductor stocks. It's a very quiet week on the data front for Taiwan with nothing scheduled. The Taiex opened at new all-time highs this morning, however we trade just off those levels now, up 0.67%.
- Australian equities are lower today, as investors await the federal budget that will be released on Tuesday, while earlier NAB's monthly business survey's showed that conditions eased in April, with trading, profitability and employment all back around their long-term averages. The ASX200 is down 0.18%.
