Asian Markets End Higher On Optimism About Recovery

The major Asian markets open for trading continued its northward march and ended higher on increasing optimism that the world economy is on the recovery path. Higher commodity prices amid weaker dollar and increasing optimism about better corporate results acted as positive catalysts.

In Japan, the benchmark Nikkei 225 Index gained 107.80 points, or 1.11% to 9,800, while the broader Topix index of all first section stocks was up 14.06 points, or 1.61%, to 886.

In Australia, the benchmark S&P/ASX200 Index surged up 104.10 points, or 2.27% to close at 4,696, while the All-Ordinaries Index ended at 4,696, representing a gain of 98.60 points, or 2.14%.

In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index continued its northward march and ended at 21,242, representing a gain of 430.06 points, or 2.07%, taking cues from Wall Street where the major indices ended higher for the second successive day on increasing confidence that the world's largest economy is on course for a recovery. Higher commodity prices spurred by weaker dollar and optimism about better corporate earnings helped lift market sentiment. All the forty-two components, except two, in the index ended in positive territory.

In South Korea, the KOSPI Index ended flat with a marginal drop of 0.44 points, or 0.03% at 1,598 as the gains in commodity related stocks was more than offset by drop in technology and automotive stocks. Traders preferred to lock in gains in the technology and automotive stocks following dollar weakness, while optimism about recovery prospects lifted the commodity related stocks. Volume was relatively moderate amid volatile trading. While the major gainers were Posco Steel and Korea Zinc, the top losers were the automotive stocks and technology stocks.

Among the other major markets in the region, Indonesia's Jakarta Composite Index slipped 14.74 points, or 0.58% and ended lower at 2,513. However, Taiwan's Weighted Index gained 72.61 points, or 0.96% to close at 7,609, and Singapore's Strait Times Index added 22.74 points, or 0.87%, to close at 2,635.

The markets across the Asia-Pacific region ended in positive territory on Monday, led by resource stocks on higher commodity prices.

Higher commodity prices, Chinese manufacturing data and positive sentiment across the Asian markets lifted the sentiment and drove the index to the day's high of 9,692.

Cautious Assessment Reduces Visibility into Economic Recovery

Kondisi Indeks DJI (Kamis/21 Mei 2009, 10:21 am) saat berita ini diposting.


The major U.S. index futures are pointing to a lower opening on Thursday. Just when the markets were becoming complacent about a recovery in the making, the Fed’s skepticism relayed through the minutes of the April FOMC meeting came as a rude shock. Adding fuel to the fire, the news about the downgrade of U.K.’s rating by S&P spread panic among traders, resulting in a large scale sell-off in the European markets. Earlier in the day, the Asian averages also closed on a weak note, as traders in the region sifted through and digested the FOMC minutes.

Jobs data continues to be downbeat, with a Labor Department report released earlier showing a smaller than expected decline in the first time claims for unemployment benefits. Continuing claims surged to another record high, accentuating the weakness in the job market. Sentiment over the course of the session may also hinge on the manufacturing survey results of the Philadelphia Fed and the Conference Board’s leading indicators index, scheduled to be released shortly after the markets open, as traders look for clarity on the economic outlook.

U.S. stocks, which opened Wednesday’s session higher and saw incremental gains in early trading on the back of the commodity rally, surrendered much of their gains by early afternoon trading and dipped momentarily below the unchanged lined, coinciding with the release of the minutes of the April FOMC meeting. Although some buying interest emerged thereafter, the gains could not be sustained, with the major averages dipped back sharply below the unchanged line in late trading.

The Dow Industrials ended down 52.81 points or 0.62% at 8,422, the S&P 500 Index receded 4.66 points or 0.51% at 904 and the Nasdaq Composite Index fell 6.70 points or 0.51% to 1,728.

Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) retreated 5.22% in reaction to the bleak outlook issued by the company, while Home Depot (HD), JP Morgan Chase (JPM) and American Express (AXP) lost more than 3% each. Alcoa (AA), Citigroup (C) and AT&T (T) moved down about 2% each. On the other hand, General Motors (GM) rallied 14.17%, while Bank of America (BAC0 rose in excess of 2% following its announcement that it has raised $13.47 billion in a public offering. McDonald’s (MCD) was up 4.42%.

Among the sector indexes, the KBW Bank Index fell 2.81% and the Philadelphia Housing Index moved down 2.71%, while the S&P Retail Index and the Dow Jones Utility Average fell over 1.5% each. However, the Amex Gold Bugs Index rallied 5.18%, while Hewlett-Packard’s dismal results weighed on the Amex Computer Hardware Index, which fell 3.28%.

In response to the recent moves on Wall Street, Marc Pado from Cantor Fitzgerald said that the consolidation trend we have been witnessing will likely continue, as pessimism continues to fade. The CBOE Volatility Index closed below the 30 level for the second straight day, which reinforces the idea of a slow and steady recovery. Typically, a trading range of 10-30 for the index signals bullish market conditions. On the upside, the index has resistance around 33.

On the economic front, the minutes of the April FOMC meeting revealed that the members of the Federal Reserve’s policy-setting body seem to concur that the pace of decline in some components of final demand has slowed, with consumer spending firming up in the first quarter and housing activity leveling off in February and March.

On the flip side, businesses continued to trim production and employment market continued to deteriorate. Headline and core consumer prices were up moderately in the first three months of the year.

The Fed updated its forecast of growth, inflation and unemployment rate, with the central tendency growth forecast for 2009 pitched at a 1.3% to a 2% GDP decline compared to its earlier estimate for a mere 0.5% to 1.3% contraction. The central bank also nudged up its unemployment rate forecast for 2009 to 9.2%-9.6% from 8.5%-8.8%. The Fed also toned down its growth estimate for 2010 to 2%-3% rate compared to 2.5%-3.3% growth it estimated in January, while it expects an unemployment rate of 9%-9.5% for 2010 versus its January projection of 8%-8.3%. The longer-run forecasts were left unchanged.

The downgrade came despite the Fed noting that conditions have improved in the inter-meeting period. Some economists believe that the tempered outlook is due to a contraction in credit creation, as commercial bank credit contracted both in March and April.

Analyzing the minutes, Barclays commented that the Fed seemed to have decided to wait till the June meeting to assess the impact of the asset purchase and decide if additional action needs to be taken.

Sektor Perbankan dan Pertanian Angkat Indeks Saham Indonesia di Akhir Pekan

Indeks saham Indonesia pada akhir pekan ini (01/05) ditutup menguat tipis sebesar 0,40% atau sebesar 6,82 poin ke level 1.730. Meskipun tipis, indeks saham Indonesia mampu menembus level 1.700 bahkan mampu mencatatkan kenaikan selama sepekan sebesar 8,69% dari harga pembukaan 1.591 diawal pekan ini.
Kenaikan ini sekaligus menepis anggapan bahwa Indeks saham Indonesia akan melemah menyusul adanya gangguan flu babi.

Sementara sentimen positif yang mampu mengangkat indeks bursa saham adalah dirilisnya data inflasi bulan april 2009 oleh BPS sebesar 7,31% YoY jauh dibawah ekspektasi analis sebesar 7,6% YoY dan penguatan harga CPO di bursa Malaysia, sehingga saham-saham di sektor perbankan dan agri yang diuntungkan dengan berita positif ini. Sektor perbankan diantaranya yakni saham BBCA naik 3,37% menjadi 3.475, saham BBRI naik 1,72% menjadi 5.900 sementara sektor AGRI diantaranya adalah AALI naik 8,86% menjadi 17.200, saham LSIP naik 2,54% menjadi 5.050.
Namun perlu juga diwaspadai bahwa pergerakan indeks untuk pekan depan akan dipengaruhi oleh pengumuman BI tentang BI rate. Ekspetasi para analis adalah akan terjadi penurunan BI rate menyusul berita deflasi bulan April 2009.
Akankah sektor perbankan kembali sebagai leader untuk mengangkat indeks bursa pekan depan? Mari kita lihat.
Secara teknikal kisaran support - resistance IHSG pekan depan adalah 1.686,67 - 1.760,67

Asian Markets Extend Gains on Signs of Economic Recovery

The markets across the Asia-Pacific region closed stronger for a second day in a row after an upbeat report from the U.S. central bank and a sharp rise in Japanese industrial output hinted that the global economic slowdown might be bottoming out. Data released Wednesday also showed that business inventories in U.S. fell by a record amount in the first three months of the year.


In Asian trading on Thursday, crude oil price rebounded to above $51 a barrel, boosted by firm equity markets and a sense of optimism that the recession in the U.S. may be abating. A U.S. Energy Information Administration report showing a surprise 4.7-million-barrel decline in nationwide gasoline inventories, also offered some support.

The Japanese market rebounded sharply after remaining closed on Wednesday for a national holiday. The Nikkei 225 index closed at 8,828, up 334 points or 3.94% and the broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange rose 26 points or 26 points or 838.

The Australian market closed sharply higher, helped by strong global cues and a rally in U.S. stock futures. The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index closed at 3,780, up 85 points or 2.31% and the broader All Ordinaries index rose 83 points or 2.26% to 3,745.

The South Korean market surged on fund buying after industrial output data for March surprised marketmen on the upside, showing a rise of 4.8 percent compared to the previous month. The benchmark KOSPI rose 31 points or 2.31% to the year's high of 1,369. Volume was significant at 794.67 million shares worth 8.42 trillion won (US$6.51 billion) and advancers outnumbered decliners by 660 to 192.

The New Zealand market rose to more than a two-month high amid strong global cues and a 50 basis points rate cut by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. The central bank said that it is committed to keeping rates low until late 2010. The benchmark NZX-50 closed at 2,741, up 41 points or 1.51%, the highest closing since Feb 13.

The Indian market was closed for trading due to elections in Mumbai. Friday will be a holiday for Labor Day.

Among the other markets in the region, China's Shanghai Composite index closed up 0.38%, Hong Kong's Hang Seng index rallied 3.77%, Singapore's STI Straits Times index advanced 3.82% and Taiwan's TWII Weighed index surged up 6.74%.

Major Asia-Pacific Indices this Wednesday morning.



How about Jakarta Composite (Indeks bursa saham Indonesia) today? Let's see....

Stock markets across the Asia-Pacific region closed sharply lower on Tuesday on renewed worries about the impact of the swine flu outbreak on global trade and consumer confidence after the World Health Organization raised its pandemic alert level to the highest level since the warning system was adopted in 2005. While hotel, airline and tourism-related stocks came under selling pressure for a second day, financials took a fresh hit on concerns U.S. banks may have to raise more capital.


The Japanese market plunged to close near the day's lows, weighed down by disappointing fiscal 2009 corporate earnings, renewed concerns over the U.S. financial system and the yen's advance against the U.S. dollar. Stocks fell almost across the board, but land transport and electricity and gas stocks bucked the declining trend. The benchmark Nikkei 225 index fell 233 points or 2.67% to 8,494, the lowest level since April 1, while the Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange closed at 812, down 21 points or 2.53%.

Steel stock JFE Holdings plummeted 6.77% and Nippon Steel tumbled 5.23% on analyst downgrades. Meanwhile, Chugai Pharmaceutical extended gains on expectations of strong sales of the Tamifu flu drug. East Japan Railway surged up 7.63% on announcing a share buyback.

The Australian market closed lower, weighed down by weakness in the banking sector. The benchmark S&P/ASX200 closed at 3,708, down 23 points or 0.62% and the broader All Ordinaries index fell 18 points or 0.5% to 3,672.

National Australia Bank tumbled 3.45% after the bank's first-half net profit fell slightly toA $2.66 billion on higher funding costs and rising provisions for bad loans.
