Mixed trends in Asian stock markets

Mixed trends have prevailed in Asian stock markets, as concerns about inflation and the war in Ukraine keep investors somewhat optimistic but also cautious.

The indices are rising in the stock markets of Japan, South Korea and Australia, having the impetus of the rally yesterday in Europe and the Dow.

Investors were also boosted by deficit data on trade in South Korea, with rising imports and exports.

The Nikkei 225 in Tokyo rose 1.23%, the Hang Seng fell 1.66%, the S & P / ASX in Australia closed 0.3% higher, the Kospi in South Korea rose 0.51%, Shanghai rose losses 1.36%, Sensex rose 1.21% and in Singapore the stock rose 0.49%.

The focus is also on what central banks will decide on interest rates and inflation.

“The market will focus on inflation and the situation between Ukraine and Russia,” analysts said.

Technology stocks, retailers and other consumer spending companies also influence the market.
