Asia-Pac stocks begin mixed following the subdued handover from Wall St where the major indices were choppy and wiped out initial data-driven gains as geopolitical concerns clouded over risk sentiment: ASX 200 (Flat), Nikkei 225 (-0.2%), KOSPI (+0.3%)
Asia-Pacific stock markets showed mixed performance over two consecutive days amid ongoing trade-related optimism and geopolitical concerns. On June 11, major indices opened higher following gains on Wall Street, with the ASX 200 rising 0.3%, Nikkei 225 up 0.7%, and KOSPI increasing 0.5%. The Australian S&P/ASX 200 briefly reached a record intraday high, while China's Shanghai Composite gained 0.4% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index rose 0.6%, supported by news of US-China trade negotiations in London. However, on June 12, the regional markets displayed a more cautious tone. The ASX 200 was flat to slightly positive at 0.25%, Nikkei 225 declined by around 0.1% to 0.2%, and KOSPI advanced modestly by 0.3% to 0.34%. Hang Seng futures indicated a weaker opening as investors awaited upcoming inflation data from the Philippines and Thailand. Overall, the market movements reflected a balance between optimism from trade talks and concerns over geopolitical risks and economic data.
