Epic Research Singapore : Asian Market Update

Asian markets mostly rose Monday following a rally on Wall Street as attention turns to the release of key data from Japan and the United States later in the week.

The yen eased slightly against the dollar in early currency deals in response to worse-than-expected Japanese industrial output figures that raise the possibility of further monetary easing by the country's central bank.

Tokyo climbed 0.43 per cent by the break, Hong Kong added 0.81 per cent and Sydney was 0.79 per cent higher but Shanghai dipped 0.20 per cent and Seoul was flat.

Regional investors took their lead from a positive finish to the week in the United States and Europe.

Epic Research Singapore : Asian Market Update

Asia's markets mostly fell Thursday following losses on Wall Street, with Japanese shares hit by a stronger yen, while traders remain on edge over the Crimean crisis.

Tokyo fell 1.16 per cent at the break, Sydney slipped 0.89 per cent and Shanghai was 0.22 per cent lower while Hong Kong shed 0.13 per cent and Seoul added 0.10 per cent.

With few catalysts to drive business, investors took their lead from New York, where the three main indexes slipped again despite better-than expected data on retail, a key driver of the US economy.

Epic Research Singapore : Asian Market Update

Asian markets slipped on Thursday after the head of the US Federal Reserve hinted that the central bank could hike interest rates earlier than expected.

Tokyo fell 0.62 per cent, Hong Kong lost 0.56 per cent, Sydney eased 0.68 per cent and Seoul shed 0.85 per cent, but Shanghai was 0.36 per cent higher.


The Fed said after a two-day policy meeting on Wednesday it would lop a further US$10 billion a month off its bond-buying scheme, saying the economy was picking up and a recent spate of soft data was caused by severe winter weather.
