Stocks Mostly Lower in Asia Amid US Holiday Asian shares are mostly lower amid a Monday holiday in the US and ahead of Friday' s inauguration of Trump. This follows some struggles seeking direction last week for the region' s equities markets. The Nikkei is down 0.7% as the yen has gained some, pressuring exporters. Hong Kong futures are lower and shares in China, Korea and Taiwan are off modestly. But Australia' s S & P / ASX 200 is up 0.4%, buoyed by higher commodity prices and gains in utility stocks. With few significant data releases and the US is offline for Martin Luther King Day, analysts are expecting a quiet session. Asian Indexes

Asia mixed in early trade Nikkei down 0.4%, ASX up 0.6% and Kospi flat Asia markets were tested early Monday as the British pound fell more than 1 percent on fears preparing the United Kingdom is ready for a hard exit from the European Union, while shares of Japanese airbag maker Takata tumbled more than 8 percent. The British pound tumbled from levels above $ 1.2150 to about $ 1.2043 Monday morning during Asian hours. The euro gained against the pound, climbing to 0.8824, from levels near 0.8720. The currency' s decline accompanied media reports that suggested Prime Minister Theresa May' s government was prepared to make a " hard" or " clean" exit from the European Union, ahead of her speech Tuesday. Traders expect volatility in the currency markets to persist ahead of May' s speech. " The market is now positioning for some fairly punchy rhetoric from Theresa May and this idea of" hard Brexit " and a clean break from the single market appear increasingly likely, with the government making a bid to gain full control over immigration," said Chris Weston, chief market strategist at spreadbettor IG, in a note. Takata shares were down 8.58 percent in early trade, after reaching a settlement agreement on Friday with the U.S. Department of Justice on an ongoing investigation. Asian Indexes

" The upper boundary of the consolidation phase [in the S & P] is near 2278, and The lower boundary is near 2250. A breakout or breakdown above or below these levels is likely to determine the next tradable move for the market. JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and PNC Financial all reported better-than-expected profits, but only JPMorgan exceeded revenue estimates. Another company that reported quarterly results on Friday was BlackRock, the largest asset manager in the world. -expected profits, helped by lower expenses and a rush into low-cost exchange-traded funds.

Meanwhile, December retail sales rose 0.6 percent, protagonist a boost in confidence after the US election.

Straits Times Index 2,993.00 -0.26% -7.94 ▼
Singapore shares close lower as STI dips below 3,000 THE last time the Straits Times Index (STI) crossed 3,000 in early November 2015, it stayed there for three days. This time, the stay lasted one day less - on Thursday, the STI endured a second consecutive loss, this time by 7.94 points At 2,993. This was most probably in response to a plunge in the Dow futures ahead of an expected weak Thursday for a Wall Street that was said to be disappointed with US President-elect Donald Trump' s Wednesday press conference. Earlier on Thursday, gains in Global Logistic Properties (GLP), which is in talks to be sold, DBS and UOB helped push the STI to an intraday high of 3,022 before it was swept under by afternoon selling. |

Asian Shares Slightly Up, But Japan Stocks Underperform on Stronger Yen Asian equity markets were slightly higher Thursday, after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump maximizing fresh attacks on global trade in his first news conference in months. However, Mr. Trump on Wednesday also offered little clarity on his economic stimulus plans, sending the U.S. dollar down against major currencies, with the Japanese yen recently up nearly 0.6%, hurting Japanese stocks. The Nikkei Stock Average was last down 1.4%, led by export stocks impacted by a stronger local currency. Among those, Mazda Motor was down 1.7%, Mitsubishi Motors declined 1.6% and Toyota Motor declined 0.9%. In financial shares, Shinsei Bank declined 3% with Mitsubishi UFJ Financial losing 1.2%. " The President-elect was generally light on policy details, leaving the market not the wiser in many respects," said Alex Furber, a sales trader at CMC Markets. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index was down 0.3% at 22869.50 as profit-taking pressure kicked in following gains in previous sessions. " The Hang Seng Index is approaching its resistance at about 23000," said Daniel So, a strategist at China Merchants Bank International. " So, while the momentum is still good ... the market may not have much upside. Asian Indexes

Asia shares mixed, ASX up 0.3%, Kospi gains 0.22%, Nikkei falls more than 1% Asian shares were mixed following a choppy session in the U.S. with stocks ending higher after President-elect Donald Trump held a raucous press conference. The news conference concluded with Donald Trump, who will be inaugurated as the 45th President of the United States on Jan. 20, not providing clarity on his proposed policies. " President elect Trump' s first news conference since late July 2016 has left a veritable laundry list of questions unanswered for markets," said Westpac Global Strategy Group in a note released on Thursday. " Trump made a couple references to" making American great again " but there was no detail on infrastructure spending, corporate tax reform, personal income tax cuts, the prospects for deregulation or the possibility of another tax repatriation holiday," Westpac added. Oil prices jumped more than 2.5 percent on Wednesday during U.S. house, as the dollar weakened after Trump' s news conference and on news that Saudi Arabia cut exports to Asia. Brent futures were up 2.7 percent to close at $ 55.10 a barrel, while U.S. crude was up 2.8 percent to close at $ 52.25. |
