Stocks in the Asia-Pacific traded mixed on Monday ahead of mainland Chinese markets resuming trade after a week-long New Year break.
Chinese onshore equities are poised to enter a bull market — the CSI 300, which tracks the largest mainland-listed stocks, gained more than 19% from its recent lows seen at the end of October last year.
In Japan, the Nikkei 225 rose 0.2% and the Topix also gained 0.03%. South Korea’s Kospi fell 0.24% while the Kosdaq rose 0.28%.
The S&P/ASX 200 in Australia shed 0.12%. Investors also digested trade data from New Zealand.
Stocks on Wall Street ended the week last Friday higher, fueled by gains in Tesla shares and a better-than-expected GDP report on Thursday. All major averages posted a positive week and are on pace for a month of gains.
