(MENAFN– ecpulse)
Asian stocks rose today in its first session this week after the political news about the fall of the Malaysian passenger plane in Ukraine and the invasion of Gaza by Israeli forces contributed in the decline in stocks amid a wave of selling in global equity markets.
It is worth mentioning that Japanese stocks are in holiday today and the focus remains on the market to take advantage of the decline in stock prices over the past week, as corporate earnings season began in Japan, which may contribute to the Asian stocks rally with the return of the Japanese market to work.
