US figure lowers Asian exchanges – Västerbotten Courier

Most of the leading Asian stock markets fall today, after the unexpectedly weak jobs data from the US on Friday.

The Tokyo Stock Exchange’s Nikkei 225 Index had just after six o’clock Swedish time, declined by 0.7 percent since the jobs figure – the weakest in nearly six years – received the Japanese yen to strengthen. Even the broader Topixindex had dropped 0.7 percent.

The Chinese stock markets have also begun publicly week with a decline, albeit a moderate one. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index had fallen 0.2 percent. Shanghai’s composite index was just below zero.
