The other Asian markets ended the day with strong gains. The Hang Seng and Shanghai closed up 2.11% and 2.79% respectively, while Nikkei gained 0.38%. According to Bloomberg reports, China’s stocks rose the most in the 3 months after the government allowed insurers to invest more in banks and over investor speculation that the profits at construction and cement companies will increase.
The European indices are also trading higher, with CAC, DAX and FTSE up in the range of 0.20%-0.40%. The rise in the European stocks for the third day is led by banks and mining companies, after China signaled wider policy support for the economic recovery by allowing insurers to invest more in banks and promoting urbanisation.
