Asian indicators show mixed trading

This image is no longer relevant

Major Asia-Pacific indicators showed mixed trading. Some of them slightly increased. The Australian S&P/ASX 200 index gained 0.27%, the Hang Seng Index increased by 0.25%, the Japanese Nikkei 225 index jumped by 0.19%. Other indicators declined. The Korean KOSPI lost 0.2%, while the Chinese Shanghai Composite and Shenzhen Composite decreased by 1.01% and 2.15% respectively.

The Asian indicators showed such results due to several reasons. Thus, the Japanese indicator was boosted by the release of fresh statistical data that the country saw a 49.9% year-on-year increase in the volume of imports in August. In addition, growth of exports by 22.1% relative to the same period of 2021 was noted. This indicator has been increasing for a year and a half. Thus, Japan's trade deficit was at an all-time high of 2.817 trillion yen.

Among the components of the Nikkei 225, shares of Shiseido gained 2.1%, East Japan Railway soared by 2%, Suzuki Motor jumped by 1.8%, and Nintendo and Nissan Motor added 1.7% each.

At the same time, Toho Zinc lost 2.8%, Nippon Steel declined by 2.2%, and Kobe Steel dropped by 1.7%.

China's GDP worsened investors' sentiment as the country's GDP is expected to decrease to 2.8% this year. This is due to the introduction of COVID-19 restrictions, as well as the prolonged recession in construction and real estate.

At the same time, China's central bank allocated £400 billion ($57.9 billion) for the implementation of a program of medium-term lending. Also, the regulator left the key rate at the same level of 2.75%, which was expected by analysts.

Among the Hong Kong Stock index companies, Country Garden Holdings, Co. gained 9.1%, Longfor Group Holdings, Ltd. added 6.2%, and China Resources Land, Ltd. soared by 5.9%.

Ping An rose slightly less, gaining 1.9%, CNOOC added 1.6%, and Budweiser Brewing, Co. APAC, Ltd. jumped by 1.4%.

At the same time, Geely fell by 2.8%, and BYD decreased by 1.7%.

Among the components of the Korean KOSPI, Samsung Electronics decreased by 1.1%, while Hyundai Motor increased by 0.25%.

In Australia, there was an increase in unemployment for August to 3.5% from July's level of 3.4%. This figure exceeded analysts' expectations who predicted it would remain unchanged, as it has not been increased for almost a year.

Despite this, the Australian indicator grew, which was due to the rise in the price of shares of the largest companies in the country. Thus, Woodside Energy rose by 4.4%, and Santos increased by 3.5%.

Other major companies also showed growth. BHP rose by 0.5%, and Rio Tinto added by 0.2%.
