Asian stocks soar following rally in US stock market

This image is no longer relevant

Stock markets in the Asia-Pacific region surged this morning amid the rapid growth in the US stock market. The main Asian stocks advanced following the rally of the US stocks. Currently, they are moving up.

The Nikkei 225 was up by 1%. Importantly, the index has been rising for the third consecutive trading session.

The SSE Composite Index grew slightly by 0.05%. The Hang Seng Index (HSI) was also in the black. It gained only 0.03%. However, investors are concerned about the new statistics unveiled by the analytical group Caixin Media Co. and Markit. The country's PMI services for January decreased significantly. So, its value fell to 52 points, while in December last year, it totaled 56.3 points. In their preliminary forecasts, experts warned about the probable decline. However, even they did not expect how deep it would be. They predicted that the index would sink below 55.8.

The composite PMI index also fell to 52.2 points in January of this year, although in December of last year it amounted to 55.8 points. Moreover, on average, analysts expected a decrease of 55.4 but the actual data turned out to be much worse than preliminary forecasts.

When calculating the Caixin indicators, experts conduct a study of a large number of private companies representing small and medium-sized businesses in the country. Thus, some analysts believe that this is a more accurate indicator than official data.

The Korea Composite Stock Price Index swelled 1.06%.

Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index jumped by 0.9%. Moreover, this indicator has also been showing growth for three consecutive trading days. However, some negative statistics affected its rally. For instance, the deterioration of ratings for the mining sector in some regions. The list included companies in the mining sector in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. According to analysts, the forecast fell to neutral, while previously the consensus was above the market. Nevertheless, for BHP and Rio Tinto shares, the rating remained at the same level (above the market) despite the fact that their value on the trading floors in London dropped.

Overall, the current situation is quite positive. Therefore, the stock market in the Asia-Pacific region will continue to grow.
