Asian stocks rise but fears over Chinese property linger

HONG KONG, China—Asian stocks were broadly up Wednesday after a strong lead from Wall Street, but fears lingered over China’s debt-hobbled property sector.

The main indexes in New York had rallied as worries about the impact of the Omicron coronavirus variant faded.

In Hong Kong, Chinese real estate company Kaisa suspended trading just before the opening bell, “pending the release by the Company of an announcement containing inside information,” according to a filing with the exchange.

Kaisa, China’s 27th-largest property firm but one of its most indebted, became the latest company to spook investors when it announced Friday that it had failed in a bid for a debt swap that would buy it crucial time.

China’s real estate sector—a key growth driver in the world’s second-largest economy—has cooled in recent months after Beijing tightened home-buying rules and launched a regulatory assault on speculation.

The moves have created headaches for several major developers, notably China Evergrande, the country’s second-largest by volume, which is billions of dollars in debt.

On Tuesday, Evergrande missed a deadline to repay some of its overseas creditors, raising the prospect of a default as it prepares for a government-backed mega-restructure.

At the close in Hong Kong Wednesday, the Hang Seng Index was up 0.06 percent at 23,996.87.

In Tokyo, the Nikkei 225 closed 1.42 percent higher at 28,860.62.

Shanghai and Shenzhen both finished up by more than one percent.

“The Nikkei index was up following gains of US shares. A wide variety of high tech shares were bought as fears over the Omicron variant receded,” Okasan Online Securities said in a note.

Sydney was up more than one percent, with Wellington gaining two percent. Seoul, Jakarta and Taipei were marginally higher, while Singapore was slightly down.

Wall Street stocks were up for a second straight session Tuesday, with the tech-rich Nasdaq enjoying a three percent jump.

Carol Kong, a strategist at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, said the initial evidence about Omicron “appears to have calmed financial markets, for now, as evidenced by the recovery in risk assets.”

“But we caution against drawing conclusions from these early reports.”

World stocks and oil had tanked on November 26 when news of the new variant first flashed across traders’ screens.

After a rollercoaster ride, investors are now optimistic over the outlook in the run-up to Christmas. With AFP
