Japans Nikkei Breaks Four-Day Losing Streak
An Asian markets round up.
Japan's Nikkei stock average notched its first rise in five sessions on Tuesday (October 8).
That tracked gains in other Asian markets, but a lack of progress in ending the U.S. government shutdown and the debt-ceiling standoff kept investors on edge.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 closed up 0.3 percent at 13,894.61, rebounding from a five-week low of 13,748.94 hit earlier in the session.
South Korea's Kospi finished 0.42% higher or 8.34 points at 2,022.76.
The Shanghai Composite was trading 0.93% higher or 20.29 points to 2194.96.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng was trading 0.94% higher or 215.99 points to 23,189.94.
