Asia: Stocks decline as Korean shares fall, investors weigh ECB

Asian stocks fell as investors weighed the outlook for monetary policy in the US and Japan after the European Central Bank downplayed the need for more economic stimulus. South Korean shares dropped amid concern North Korea may have conducted a nuclear test.

The MSCI Asia Pacific Index dropped 0.7 per cent to 141.03 as of 10:49am in Tokyo. The measure is heading for a 2.1 per cent advance this week as traders pared bets the Federal Reserve will raise rates at its September meeting while speculation swirled over whether the Bank of Japan will add to already record stimulus.

Shares in the US and Europe fell after ECB chief Mario Draghi played down the prospect of an increase in asset purchases at a time when concern over the impact of Brexit on the euro area is mounting.

"While the ECB disappointed, we could still expect additional stimulus later in the year as there's so much uncertainty in Europe," James Woods, a strategist at Rivkin Securities in Sydney, said by phone.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

Australia shares dragged down by banks, basic materials; NZ lower

Australian shares fell to their lowest in close to two months on Thursday as many investors were edgy about global economic prospects, and some encouraging trade data from China did not lift spirits.

All sectors, led by financials and basic materials, wallowed in red seeking cues from global economic events queued up in the day.

The S&P/ASX 200 index was at its lowest since mid-July, down 47.55 points, or 0.9 per cent, at 5376.7 at 0246 GMT. The benchmark rose marginally on Wednesday.

Seoul: Won rises to 3-week high, stocks firm on weak US data

The South Korean won jumped to a three-week high early on Wednesday as downbeat economic data from the world's biggest economy dented already-low chances of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates as early as this month.

The won stood at 1,094.6 as of 0214 GMT, its highest since Aug 16, and up one per cent compared to Tuesday's close at 1,105.2.

The US dollar slumped after a survey showed US services sector activity slowed to a 6-1/2-year low in August amid sharp drops in production and orders, pointing to slowing economic growth.

"All the economic data from the US that came out in September were below expectations. The won will stay strong against the dollar even if Federal Reserve officials keep their hawkish stance," said Park Sung Woo, a foreign exchange analyst at NH Futures.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

Australia: Shares edge down before central bank meeting; NZ flat

Australian shares edged lower on Tuesday, led by losses in the financial sector as markets were largely resigned to the prospect of the Reserve Bank of Australia keeping rates steady at its policy meeting later in the day.

The S&P/ASX 200 index was down 20.68 points, or 0.4 per cent, at 5408.8 by 0240 GMT, pulling back slightly from a 1.1 per cent gain on Monday.

Australia shares languish ahead of US payrolls; NZ slightly lower

Australian shares lost ground for a third consecutive session on Friday as apprehension mounted around potentially robust US jobs data, expected later in the day, which could bolster the argument for a US Federal Reserve rate rise in the near term.

The market also took cues from overnight moves on Wall Street, where stocks were flat with gains in the tech sector offsetting a disappointing US factory activity report and lower oil prices.

The S&P/ASX 200 index shed 52 points, or one per cent, to 5364.1 by 0316 GMT. The benchmark finished 0.3 per cent lower on Thursday.

Strength in the US labour market has inspired hawkish comments from some Federal Reserve officials of late, with vice chair Stanley Fischer and Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester both hinting at an imminent rate hike.
