Tokyo's main index closes higher on the day, after breaking through the 23,000 mark for the first time since 1992 yesterday
- Session high 23,730.47
- Session low 23,520.52
Asian equities remain buoyant in trading today, as Wall Street ended yesterday with record closes once again. I guess positive sentiment feeds into more positive sentiment, and the loop continues. But what's new with equities, am I right?
Meanwhile, in other Asia Pacific equity markets:
- Hang Seng -0.04%
- Shanghai Composite +0.14%
- CSI 300 +0.20%
- Kospi +1.14%
- ASX 200 +0.74% (closes at 6,122.30)
The Hang Seng index is the only drag, as Tencent Holdings is down on the day by 0.14%. It accounts for ~10% weightage of the index. Key sectors including financials are also down on the day for the Hang Seng.
