Today Asian Exchanges are traded in the “green” zone. This has been favoured by the speech of the Head of Federal Reserve System Ben Bernanke, proclaimed on Friday. Let us remind that he has not excluded the possibility of the third round of Quantitative Easing Program.
Independent stock index of the region MSCI Asia Pacific has demonstrated a 0.4-percent growth since the start of a trading session, having amounted to 118.22 points. Japanese index Nikkei 225 has increased by 0.19 percent, South Korean Kospi – by 0.53 percent, Hong Kong Hang Seng has risen by 0.51 percent, and SP/ASX 200 (Australia) – by 0.27 percent.
The previous week has been rather hard and tense for APX. Indexes hardly managed to leave the “red” zone; however, the new trading stage has started with a rise for Asian trading grounds.
