Taipai and Singpore enjoy good day on the exchanges

Asian stock exchanges saw mixed results on Thursday, as they fell in Japan and South Korea but rose in Taipei and Singapore.

In Japan, the markets were down once again as reaction to disappointing corporate earnings reports and other bad news continued.

The Nikkei 225 was down 0.4 percent to 11,077.94 while the Topix index also fell 0.4 percent to 1,140.49.

In Seoul, the Kospi index fell for the fourth day in a row. It was down 0.2 percent to 921.21 on continuing concerns over North Korea’s nuclear program.

In Singapore things looked better as the Straits Times index was up 0.4 percent to 2,181.19.

Meanwhile in Taipei, technology stocks took the Weighted Price index up 0.3 percent to 5,934.6.
