Asia-Pacific stocks' desire to significantly increase positions is still justified

This image is no longer relevant

A positive trend is observed on the trading platforms of the Asia-Pacific region on Tuesday morning. Major stock indexes are steadily moving up. However, not all indexes are back in the game: Chinese exchanges are still closed for the Lunar New Year celebration. But Hong Kong shares are again available for purchase.

Market participants are still encouraged by the fact that mass vaccination against coronavirus infection continues to skyrocket around the world. This can only mean that countries will very soon be able to begin a more active recovery of their economies from the consequences of the crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

The new portion of financial incentives in the United States of America also causes a wave of positive emotions among investors, who believe that this measure will be the most effective tool that can support the growth of the country's economy and ensure the achievement of all the necessary indicators by sector.

Japan's Nikkei 225 index rose 1.1% in the morning. Its solid rise continues for the second trading session in a row, which, of course, cannot but rejoice investors, who are now waiting for even greater progress. Meanwhile, the Japanese indicator has already crossed the strategically important mark of 30,000 points, which happened for the first time in thirty years.

The Hong Kong Hang Seng Index rose 1.48% immediately after the opening.

South Korea's KOSPI was able to gain 0.42%.

Australia's S&P/ASX 200 Index climbed 0.7%. The news from the main regulator, the Reserve Bank of Australia, had a significant impact on the mood of investors. According to the conclusions of the representatives of the financial regulatory organization, very soon, the country's economy will need a fairly substantial financial injection, which will be necessary to support the main sectors. Thus, it is to be expected that Australian monetary policy may soon be revised. At the very least, the authorities intend to start an active struggle to achieve targets for inflation and the labor market. This may lead to the fact that incentive measures in the country will not only not be curtailed, but will also become more widespread. It has already been announced that the securities repurchase program will be continued indefinitely. It was the main measure to support the economic recovery process until the last moment.

Thus, the stock markets of the Asia-Pacific region continue to maintain a positive attitude, due to the hope that economic activity in the coming year will return at least to the pre-crisis level, and in the best case, even slightly higher.
