attempts, closely monitoring the developments surrounding oil markets.

The
Japanese stocks are seen paring losses as the Yen loses control amid
improved risk sentiment after the black gold staged a comeback this
session. The Japanese benchmark index, the Nikkei 225 now
trades marginally lower around 17,350 points, while USD/JPY trades
muted at 109.40. Meanwhile, markets ignored weak flash manufacturing PMI
out of Japan released earlier today.
The Australian markets also
joined the recovery mode, with the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index
losing -0.35% to 5,254. While the Chinese benchmark Shanghai Composite
index erased gains and falls -0.08% to 2,950 points, the CSI300 index
pares gains to trade 0.28% higher, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng slides
-0.65% to 21,485 levels.
