16.01.202313:24 Forex Analysis & Reviews: Asian stock indices rise higher

Exchange Rates 16.01.2023 analysis

Almost all stock indices of the Asia-Pacific region increased by 2%. Only the Nikkei 225 fell by 1.24%. The Shanghai Composite and the Shenzhen Composite indices were the biggest gainers. They grew by 1.44% and 1.77%, respectively. The Hang Seng Index rose by 0.69%, while the S&P /ASX 200 and the KOSPI added 0.75% and 0.79%, respectively.

A decline in the Japanese stock index occurred due to the growing yen. The latter gained ground amid an increase in government bond yields and expectations of a smaller rate hike by the Fed. A stronger national currency leads to a decrease in the revenues of exporting companies.
