Asia markets open higher after Nasdaq hits record high on tame inflation data
Thursday, 12 December 2024 08:34 WIB | MARKET UPDATE |Bursa Asia

Asia-Pacific opened higher Wednesday, following gains on Wall Street that saw the Nasdaq Composite surge to record highs after November's inflation report met expectations.

Traders in Asia assessed jobs data from Australia, which showed the country's unemployment rate dropped to 3.9% in November from 4.1% the month prior. A poll of economists from Reuters had expected the rate to rise to 4.2%.

Australia's S&P/ASX 200 was trading 0.1% higher.

Japan's Nikkei 225

climbed 1.7% at market open, while the Topix gained 1.3%.

South Korea's Kospi index opened up 1%, while the small-cap Kosdaq gained 1.2% as investors appear to shrug off the political turmoil in the country.

Hong Kong's Hang Seng index

 futures were at 20,215 higher than the HSI's last close of 20,155.05. Hong Kong will release industrial production data for the third quarter later in the day.
