Asian stock markets gain ground

AFP, Hong Kong
Asian stocks gained ground on Monday as the markets welcomed a cooldown in oil prices as well as last week's bounceback on Wall Street, with bargain-hunters driving many of the rallies.
But trading volumes were off and there were signs that investors were nervous about jumping in too heavily, with fears of more volatility ahead as mounting fuel and food prices deepen inflation worries.
TOKYO: The Nikkei-225 Index soared 2.72 percent thanks to the rebound on Wall Street, a drop in oil prices and a weaker yen that benefits exporters.
HONG KONG: Bargainhunters drove the Hang Seng Index up 1.91 percent, as the benchmark added 437.39 points at 23,029.69 in a rebound after last week's punishment. Almost every blue-chip issue saw gains.
SYDNEY: Australian share prices were little changed, edging down 0.1 percent as falls in the banking sector just
slightly outweighed gains in resources.
The S&P/ASX 200 Index closed down 6.4 points, while the broader All Ordinaries was 3.3 points lower at 5,476.3.
SHANGHAI: Chinese shares were mixed. The Shanghai Composite Index was up 0.18 percent, gaining 5.30 points at 2,874.10, but still hovering around a 15-month low.
Investors chased blue-chips with low valuations after eight straight sessions in the red, with banks, oil majors and steel-makers leading the way.
SEOUL: The KOSPI Index gained 0.8 percent, up 13.47 points at 1,760.82, as financial stocks rebounded after being pummelled in recent months.
Dealers said attractive valuations, coupled with lingering hopes for industry realignment in the second half and beyond, would likely win back some support.
MANILA: The Philippine composite index picked up 2.6 percent, extending gains for a second straight session thanks to easing crude prices.
The index added 66.01
points to 2,620.76, just off the day's high of 2,628.64.
SINGAPORE: The blue-chip Straits Times Index gained 1.93 percent, adding 57.36 points to 3,036.92, but dealers warned that the long-term picture was uncertain.
Banks rallied, with DBS Group rising 38 cents to 19.44 Singapore dollars, United Overseas Bank up 32 cents at 19.20 and Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp gaining 14 cents to 8.34.
BANGKOK: Thai shares gained 0.63 percent after the central bank governor tried to ease investors' concerns about rising inflation, dealers said.
MUMBAI: The Sensex Index gained 1.36 percent, up 206.2 points to 15,395.82, as easing oil prices helped give the market a boost.
But dealers said that medium-term inflation concerns persist, as annual inflation in Asia's third-largest economy rose to 8.75 percent for the week ended May 31, the highest since February 2001.
