Wednesday, the Asia-Pacific markets opened on a bright note but could not sustain their initial gains. The major markets across the Asia-Pacific region closed mixed as a cautious undertone prevailed despite positive comments from the U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner about the health of the U.S. financial system. Investors also expressed caution after the IMF said losses tied to distressed loans and securitized assets could reach $4.1 trillion worldwide by the end of 2010.
The Japanese market closed mixed ahead of earnings announcements from top blue-chip companies later in the week. While the Nikkei 225 index rose 16 points or 0.18% to 8,727, the broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange closed at 830, down 1 point or 0.09%. Securities, sea transport and electrical machinery stocks led the gainers, but stocks in the consumer finance, warehouse and construction sectors ended in the red.
Honda Motor shed 0.55% amid reports that its operating profit will decline 84 percent to 150 billion yen ($1.5 billion) for the year ended March. However, Suzuki Motor rose 2.16%, Toyota gained 1.08% and Nissan added 1.60%. Hino Motors tumbled 4.80% after reporting a wider-than-expected 61.8 billion yen loss for the year ended March.
Household products maker Kao Corp. fell 3.76% after Goldman Sachs Group reduced its rating on the stock to "neutral" from "buy". Mitsui Chemicals tumbled 4.80% after it widened its net loss estimate for the past financial year ended March to 95 billion yen, worse than its 13 billion yen loss forecast.
Toshiba Corp. soared 9.57% after its joint venture partner SanDisk Corp. (SNDK), the biggest maker of flash-memory cards, reported revenue that topped analysts' estimates in the first quarter. Pioneer Corp. climbed 17.19% on reports that the government is considering investing into the ailing electronics maker.
In economic news, Japan saw a merchandise trade surplus of 11 billion yen in March, the Ministry of Finance said on Wednesday - beating analyst expectations for a 10 billion yen surplus following the revised 82.1 billion yen surplus in February.
The Australian market showed a modest loss, as losses among gold miners and mining giant BHP Billiton more than offset gains in the financial sector. The benchmark S&P/ASX200 closed at 3,668, down 9 points or 0.25% and the All Ordinaries index fell 6 points or 0.16% to 3,627.
Commonwealth Bank of Australia rose 1.70% after it signed a 10-year contract worth A$100 million a year with Telstra Corp. Telstra also gained 1.88%.

The South Korean market rose for the third straight day, as improving corporate earnings encouraged foreign and retail investors to pick up stocks amid attractive valuations. The benchmark KOSPI rose 19 points or 1.4% to 1,356, the highest closing since Oct. 14. Volume was at 717.59 million shares worth 8.43 trillion won (US$6.3 billion) and advancers outnumbered decliners by 613 to 257.
Chipmaker Hynix Semiconductor surged up 14.83% on reports that Japanese chip maker Elpida will raise memory chip prices by as much as 50 percent. LG Electronics added 3.77% after it forecast sales in the second quarter would rise 10 percent from the first quarter.
Among auto stocks, Ssangyong Motor closed flat, but Hyundai Motor gained 2.33% and Kia Motors rallied 5.84% ahead of its earnings announcement later this week. Shipbuilders retreated on profit taking. While Daewoo Shipbuilding lost 2.07%, Samsung Heavy Industries declined 1.73% and Hyundai Heavy slipped 0.24%
Among the other markets in the region, China's Shanghai Composite index fell 2.94%, Hong Kong's Hang Seng index moved down 2.67% and Singapore's STI Straits Times index closed down 2.32%, but Taiwan's TWII Weighed index moved up 0.08%
After opening higher, the Indian market pared its early gains and was trading in negative terrain, with oil & gas, metals and capital goods stocks shedding the most amid mixed global cues. The benchmark BSE Sensex was last trading at 10,801, down 97 points or 0.89% compared to the previous close.

Markets in Asia-Pacific region followed Wall Street lower on Tuesday
Tuesday, markets across the Asia-Pacific region followed Wall Street lower as concerns about the U.S. banking sector and pessimism about earnings tempered risk appetite. The focus was back on the state of the economic recovery in the world's biggest economy after Bank of America marked up protection for bad loans.
The Japanese market fell sharply as financials came under intense selling pressure and reports that Toyota Motor Corp.'s fiscal 2009 domestic output may hit a 31-year-low hurt investor sentiment.
The Nikkei 225 index recouped some of its early losses and closed at 8,711, down 213 points or 2.39%, while the broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange moved down 18 points or 2.07% to 831. Stocks declined mostly across the board, although stocks in the retail, information and communication and land transport sectors bucked the declining trend.
Toyota Motor fell nearly 4% on reports that its domestic output will fall to 2.8 million units in the current business year ending next March. Honda tumbled 4.88%, Suzuki fell 3.49%, Nissan slipped 0.20% and Mazda drifted down 2.69%.
Sony Corp retreated 4.14% on the strengthening of the yen and a cut in its rating to "hold" by Nikko Citigroup. Trading house Mitsui & Co. slumped 6.46% after oil and copper prices fell. Advantest fell 4.81%, Tokyo Electron closed down 0.94%, Kyocera moved down 2.30% and Fujitsu declined 1.21%
The Australian market tumbled, led down by banks and miners, as a slump on Wall Street on concerns about bad debts on bank balance sheets and the Reserve Bank of Australia governor Glenn Stevens' statement that Australia was in a recession weighed on sentiment.
The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index closed at 3,677, down 92 points or 2.43% and the All Ordinaries index fell 89 points or 2.4% to 3,633. Banking stocks were hit hard. National Australia Bank tumbled 4.49%, ANZ fell nearly 4%, Commonwealth Bank declined 1.84% and Westpac Banking moved down 2.57%.
Among miners, BHP Billiton fell 4.01%, Rio Tinto tumbled 5.82% and Iluka Resources moved down 3.43%. The new chairman of Rio Tinto Jan du Plessis said Rio's board was committed to the group's proposed $19.5 billion tie up with China's state-owned Chinalco
On the economic front, the Reserve Bank of Australia's board members said that the outlook is weaker for near-term demand, but they still believe a recovery is likely by the end of 2009, minutes from the board's April 7 monetary policy meeting revealed on Tuesday.
The South Korean market closed flat and as gains in shipbuilders and technology shares offset losses in the financial sector. The benchmark KOSPI recouped all its early losses to finish at 1,337, up a mere 0.03 percent or 0.42 points. Volume was at 629.61 million shares worth 6.4 trillion won (US$4.7 billion) and advancers outnumbered decliners by 412 to 398.
Shipbuilders outperformed on optimism that South Korean companies would win orders from Brazil's Petrobras by as early as May. Daewoo Shipbuilding rose 1.47%, Samsung Heavy Industries advanced 3.41% and Hyundai Heavy added 0.47%.
Steel maker POSCO fell 2.30% on profit taking, market heavyweight Samsung Electronics moved down 0.17%, automaker Hyundai Motor declined 2.12%, Kia Motors fell 2.14% and oil stock SK drifted down 2.42%.
After a weak start, India's benchmark Sensex recouped most of its losses on the emergence of fresh buying by funds as the central bank cut short-term lending (repo) and borrowing (reverse repo) rates by 25 basis points each. The BSE Sensex ended at 10,898, down 81 points or 0.74%.
Hong Kong’s Hang Seng opened notably lower and moved sideways for the rest of the session. The index ended down 465.02 points or 2.95% at 15,286. A majority of the stocks declined in the session. Property stocks declined sharply, with Sino Land, New World Development and Hang Lung Property leading the slide.
