Nikkei, Yen, Hang Seng: Börsen in Asien schließen uneinheitlich
Sinkende Ölpreise stützen Japans Markt, während Hongkong Verluste verbucht. Das Treffen zwischen Trump und Xi hatte nicht die gewünschten Effekte.
Asian stock markets closed unevenly on Friday. While Japan saw gains, Hong Kong experienced losses. Chinese mainland markets, as well as South Korean and Taiwanese exchanges, had no trading due to holidays. The Nikkei Index, which tracks 225 stocks, rose nearly 1.5% to 66,466 points. The broader Topix index gained 1.3% to 4,129.
The Hang Seng Index dropped 1% to 24,508 points. The stabilization of bond yields, following recent sales of fixed-rate bonds, contributed positively. Declining oil prices also played a role. Market analyst Andreas Lipkow of CMC Markets emphasized that any relaxation in the oil market immediately reduces concerns about inflation and the pressure on bond yields.
Iran reportedly submitted a new proposal to the US for the resumption of talks about potentially ending the war. The Strait of Hormuz could reopen after seven days if certain conditions are met, according to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghtschi, as reported by the "New York Times" and "Financial Times" at the UN event in New York.
The White House stated, upon inquiry about the alleged Iranian negotiation offer, that they were conducting positive and constructive talks.
