Stocks in Asia traded mixed throughout the early trading session. Stocks in Asia started the day by dropping but the news that the Chinese government seem to be making a move towards boosting equities helped relieve the pressure towards the end of the session.

When a company with this much weight in the sector release one of their flagship products it will always excite potential investors. This will guarantee movement which is great for trading.
