Tokyo's main index closes higher for the day as Asian stocks rebound

  • Session high 23,492.77
  • Session low 23,211.12

Asian stocks had a modest rebound on the day, following the tone set by US stocks overnight in a push higher. The only downside to equities in Asia today were Chinese stocks as it appears that investors were not too happy about the manufacturing PMI figures earlier in the day (no improvements as compared to other PMI figures in the region).

The Shanghai Composite erased early gains, while the Hang Seng index is also lower dragged down by H-shares. Here are some of the other performers:

  • Hang Seng -0.40%
  • Shanghai Composite -1.25%
  • CSI 300 -1.09%
  • Kospi +0.22%
  • ASX 200 +0.87% (closes at 6,090.10)
  • Taiex +0.51%
