Notable Events Affecting the Stocks
The rise of most of Asia stocks did not miraculously happen out of nowhere. In accordance with the elevation, recently occurring notable events were affecting the stocks.
Prior to the day, US Federal Reserve cut interest rates on Wednesday night. The overnight rate cut was by 25 basis points, to a range of 1.75% up to 2%. Despite the Fed’s move, US Central Bank appeared to be divided in furthering their action for the year.
Furthermore, potential trade deals between the US and China also shed hope according to analysts. The news arguably triggered more traffics of stock trades in China and Hong Kong.
Yesterday, US President Donald Trump signaled that the US and China would most likely come into new deals and agreement on their trades in the near future accordingly. Mr. Trump predicted that the new deals will be signed before the 2020 presidential elections or the day after.
Moreover, in Japan, in response to the elevation, Bank of Japan kept monetary policy steady. Bank of Japan kept its short-term interest rate target at -0.1%. Additionally, the bank pledged to guide 10-year government bond yields around 0%.
