Seoul: Stocks rise as Fed worries ease; won recovers

South Korean shares rose early on Tuesday on easing concerns of an interest rate increase in the United States as early as September, with buying from offshore investors and domestic institutions underpinning the market.

The Korea Composite Stock Price Index (Kospi) was up 0.8 per cent at 2,049.21 points as of 0217 GMT.

Kim Sung Hwan, a stock analyst at Bookook Securities, said that foreign investors are buying the local equities in tandem with the won's bounce from Monday's loss.

Oil holds losses near one-week low after surprise stockpile gain

Oil held losses near the lowest close in a week as US crude stockpiles unexpectedly increased, keeping supplies at the highest in at least three decades with the peak summer demand period approaching its end.

Futures were little changed in New York after falling 2.8 per cent Wednesday. Inventories rose by 2.5 million barrels last week, according to the Energy Information Administration.

The median forecast in a Bloomberg survey had projected a decline. Iraq will attend informal Opec talks next month in Algiers, Deputy Oil Minister Fayyad Al-Nima said in a phone interview.

Oil entered a bull market on Aug 18, less than three weeks after tumbling into a bear market. Prices surged partly on speculation that informal discussions among members of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other producers may lead to action to stabilise the market.Click Here To Register For Free Trial Services OR Give A Missed Call : +6531581402 Follow Us On Twitter : www.twitter.com/epicresearchsg Like Us On Facebook : www.facebook.com/EpicResearchSingapore Need Any Assistance Feel Free To Mail Us at : info@epicresearch.sg
