Having seen a 1% decline from the US session, Asia started weak and never looked back. The Nikkei lost over 2.2% with the JPY rallying into the 111’s. The session was already weak, but the added tension of the North Korean missile test certainly did not help matters. In Tokyo, the BOJ minutes were released […]

The market talk today was not really so much of Asia when you look back from US closing terms, so therefor, we shall jump to events around midday in Europe.

Asia performed reasonably well today if you neglect the Nikkei. Both the Hang Seng and Shanghai closed in positive territory, +0.8% and +0.4% respectively. The Nikkei, however, spot lit the party somewhat with a small -0.3% decline, but saw the JPY trade into the mid 112’s. The talking point Monday morning was the lack of […]

Another quiet trading session for Asia resulting in mixed signals with little headway made. All core markets closed within 0.10% of their previous close. China Industrial production rose (6.3% while estimate were 6.2%) for the first couple of this year but were disappointed as Retail Sales released at 9.5% against an expected 10.5%. The BOJ will […]

Core Asian markets performed well today on what has potential to be an extremely volatile week. The Nikkei bounced from early weakness but was more playing off-set from currency moves. The mood did not start so well for Japan after January Machinery Orders came in way below estimate (-3.2% against forecasts of +0.5%). This obviously […]

It has been a wild week for many markets but will probably be remembered for the week European government markets were given permission to turn. With that Asian markets closing on a quiet note but ahead of US Non-Farms that was not a surprise. From its highs oil lost 10% at one stage and even […]

Energy stocks were hit as were commodity relations as we saw mixed data out from China and weaker JPY. China released better than expected Producer Price Index but was countered by slower than expected Consumer Prices. […]
