South Korea’s Kospi rose 0.96% in early trade hours. The Shanghai Composite was trading 0.24% lower at 3,338.22. Hong Kong’s key index Hang Seng was trading 0.46% higher at 21,963.39.

US markets

The US stock markets closed Wednesday’s trade on a lower note after headline consumer inflation rose more than expected in January, raising brows for the delay in rate cuts. The S&P 500 lost 0.27% to finish at 6,051.97. The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 225.09 points, or 0.5%, to 44,368.56. Nasdaq Composite gained 0.03% to end at 19,649.95.

US CPI inflation

The consumer price index increased 3% in January compared to the last year, a report from the Labor Department showed. It was up from 2.9% reported in December. It has grown from a three-and-a-half-year low of 2.4% in September. 

IIP numbers

The index of industrial production (IIP) grew by 3.21% in December from 4.96% in November, on account of a deceleration in manufacturing growth. “This can be attributed to weaker manufacturing growth at 3% in December (Vs 5.5% in November) partly weighed by an unfavourable base. With this, the IIP growth improved to 3.9% in Q3 FY25 from a 2.7% growth in the previous quarter,” said Rajani Sinha, Chief Economist at CareEdge Ratings.
