Equity Alert: Most Asian indices rise post selloff on Mon; Kospi top gainer
MUMBAI--0742 IST--Most Asian indices were up in early trade Tuesday as investors focused on a meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, which will be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi too. Tariff-related uncertainty continues to weigh on sentiment after a US federal appeals court last week ruled that most of President Donald Trump's global tariffs were illegal. The US market was shut Monday on account of Labor Day.
South Korea's Kospi was up 0.7%, the top gainer in the region. The country's consumer price index rose 1.7% on year in August, slower than the 2.1% rise the month before. This marks its slowest year-on-year rise since November and is slightly lower than the 2% rise forecast by Reuters. Investors were bargain-hunting for semiconductor and technology stocks after a sell-off in the previous session, The Korea Herald reported. The sell-off was after reports that China's Alibaba had developed a new artificial intelligence chip. Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Naver were up 1-5%.
Japan's Nikkei 225 and Topix were up 0.5% and 0.6%, respectively. Japan's 10-year government bond auction later in the day will be a gauge for investor appetite amid growing expectations of a rate hike by the Bank of Japan, NDTV Profit reported.
