Nikkei gains more than 2% before Fed decision

18th December 2013

The Nikkei 225 index has advanced by more than two per cent today (December 18th), ahead of the conclusion of the Federal Reserve's two-day policy meeting. 

Sentiment on the Tokyo stock market was boosted after official figures showed Japanese exports increased by 18.4 per cent in November, compared to the consensus estimate for a 17.9 per cent gain. 

International trade out of the country has been boosted by a weaker yen, which has come amid ongoing speculation the US central bank is preparing to scale back its quantitative easing programme. 

This stimulus has been seen as the driving force behind the growth in global equities over the course of 2013 and while the Nikkei has closed 2.02 per cent higher at 15,587.80 points amid a declining Japanese currency, the majority of wider Asian markets have declined.

In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng shed 0.4 per cent, while Australia's ASX/200 index ended the session 0.14 per cent lower.
