Japan’s Nikkei rises after G20 meeting

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - Japan’s Nikkei Stock Average remains profoundly on demand as the G20 meeting didn’t take away the merits of BoJ easing policy and allowed investors to add +1.80% to the value of the index. South Korea’s Kospi also moved higher, by +0.64%, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng (-0.08%) and Mainland China’s Shanghai Composite (-0.31%) moved lower on today’s quiet Asian session.

Futures for the German DAX 30 and French CAC 40 are signaling a higher opening by +0.60% ahead of the European session. The economic calendar will be particularly empty during the morning but EMU consumer confidence will be published at 14:00 GMT.
