Asian bourses soaked in green at Friday start

FXstreet (Chicago) – Asian markets opened strong on bullish worldwide bias.

Wall Street recorded all-time highs on manufacturing and job market data on outlook for what is considered one of the most relevant economic indicators throughout the year: nonfarm payrolls to be released later today. The Nikkei had closed with 2.47% gains on Thursday similarly to a Shanghai Composite up 1.77% and a Hang Seng index accumulating 0.94% profits.

Today, so far, the Nikkei is up 1.80%, followed by the Hang Seng at 0.68% and the Shanghai Composite at +0.54%. It remains to see whether market participants remain bullish on official data facts.
