Asia Markets Today: Nikkei 225 Surges and ASX 200 Climbs After Wall Street’s 2.35% Jump
The Nikkei 225 surged and the ASX 200 climbed on Tuesday after Wall Street's 2.35% jump, with oil sharply lower and the dollar softer.
Tokyo led a broad rise across Asia-Pacific on Tuesday, with the Nikkei 225 surging by more than any other major index on the board and the ASX 200 in Sydney climbing shortly after the open. The moves followed a strong Monday on Wall Street, where the S&P 500 gained 2.35% and the Nasdaq 2.74%, while oil fell sharply and the dollar softened.
Jakarta, Hong Kong and Shanghai had already finished Monday's session by the time Tokyo and Sydney opened, so their latest prints are yesterday's closes.
Tokyo and Sydney rise at the open
The Nikkei 225 is the biggest mover on the Asian board, extending a volatile stretch for Japanese equities that has seen sharp swings in both directions in recent sessions. In Sydney the ASX 200 traded firmly higher, while the Australian dollar slipped 0.14% to 0.6917 against the US dollar.
Monday's closes: Jakarta firmer, Hong Kong flat
The IHSG closed Monday 0.46% higher at 5,073.77, and the LQ45 index gained 0.79% to 522.39. Despite the advance, the Jakarta Composite is still down 41.32% year to date and 16.74% over the past month, against a 52-week high of 9,134.7.
Among Jakarta movers, Bukalapak led gainers with an 8.25% rise to 105, followed by Solusi Sinergi Digital, up 6.33% to 840. Barito Pacific was the weakest of the large decliners, down 6.47% to 795, with Sumber Alfaria Trijaya falling 3.59% to 940. The rupiah firmed slightly, with USD/IDR at 18,058.46, down 0.09%.
Elsewhere, the Hang Seng ended 0.13% lower at 24,448.95, with Meituan down 6.53% to 75.15 among the heavier decliners. The Shanghai Composite added 0.32% to 3,660.79, and India's Sensex rose 0.13% to 81,106.65. Singapore's Straits Times index still shows Friday's 2.21% fall to 5,179.17 as its latest print.
Wall Street's overnight surge
The S&P 500 closed at 7,549.94, up 2.35%, and the Nasdaq at 25,253.14, up 2.74%. The Dow Jones added 2.15% to 52,389.75 and the small-cap Russell 2000 jumped 3.15%. The VIX volatility gauge dropped 22.31% to 19.92.
Chipmakers were mixed. AMD rose 9.22% to 490.44 and Marvell gained 9.07%, while Nvidia fell 4.58% to 178.1. The Trade Desk jumped 14.58%. In Europe, the DAX closed 1.73% higher and the FTSE 100 gained 1.02%.
Oil slides, dollar eases
Brent and WTI crude both traded sharply lower in Asian hours, and the Dollar Index was down. US-Iran diplomacy remains in the headlines, with Iran defending a two-day proposal as Washington calls its terms outrageous, and closed-door talks between Donald Trump and Qatar's prime minister as diplomacy stalls.
The 10-year US Treasury yield was almost flat at 4.864%. Gold edged down 0.24% to $4,124.2 an ounce, while silver and copper both gained and natural gas jumped. Bitcoin was little changed.
What to watch next
Jakarta opens at 09:00 WIB, and traders will see whether the IHSG can build on Monday's gain as oil and the dollar move lower. Attention in Tokyo will turn to whether the Nikkei holds its large opening advance. Later this week, Applied Materials and Cisco report earnings on Thursday, 12 November, followed by PDD Holdings on 16 November.
