HONG KONG: Asian markets were mixed yesterday as a weaker yen and upbeat regional economic data was tempered by news that consumer confidence in the US had unexpectedly fallen.
TOKYO: Up 0.33 per cent. The Nikkei-225 index gained 33.03 points to 10,133.23.
Many investors were reluctant to chase stocks higher ahead of the Bank of Japan's Tankan survey of business confidence due today, followed by US jobs data tomorrow.
SYDNEY: Down 0.20 per cent. The SP/ASX200 dropped 9.5 points to 4,743.6.

SEOUL: Down 1.0 per cent. The Kospi ended down 16.91 points at 1,673.14.
The index rose in the morning but reports French shipping line CMA CGM could seek a moratorium on debt repayments "spurred panic selling in local shipyards, leading the Kospi to turn lower sharply," said Park Jung-Seop, an analyst at Daishin Securities.
TAIPEI: Up 1.07 per cent. The weighted index rose 79.19 points to 7,509.17.
The market opened slightly higher and gained momentum as investors continued to push semiconductor shares up after Economic Minister Shih Yen-hsiang said the government may ease curbs on high-tech investment in China.
