Asian markets continues to mingle on Monday


Nikkei, Shanghai edge higher while Sensex, Hang Seng finish lower

Stock markets in Asian region managed a mixed closing on Monday, 21 December 2009, despite positive cues from Wall Street on Friday as well as higher commodity prices. The mood is cautious ahead of the year-end vacation. Though some of the markets in the region have drifted lower after a steady start, the fall is not much pronounced.

On Wall Street, stocks closed slightly higher Friday, as a strong tech sector helped the major averages overcome a midday swoon caused by a strengthening dollar. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 21 points, or 0.2%, to 10,329. The S&P 500 improved by 6 points, or 0.6%, at 1102, while the Nasdaq added 32 points, or 1.5%, at 2212.

In the commodity market, crude oil traded near $73 a barrel in New York after rising last week amid optimism demand will increase as the global economy recovers from its worst recession since World War II.

Crude oil for January delivery was at $73.43 a barrel, up 7 cents, in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 3:13 p.m. Singapore time. The contract, which expires today, rose 1% to $73.36 on 18 December 2009, the highest settlement since 7 December 2009.

Brent crude oil for February settlement rose as much as 57 cents, or 0.8%, to $74.32 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange. The contract was at $74.09 a barrel at 3:23 p.m. Singapore time.

Gold, little changed in London, may decline as gains in the value of the dollar curb demand for the metal as an alternative investment. Gold for immediate delivery fell $1.28, or 0.1%, to $1,111.92 an ounce at 9:14 a.m. local time. Bullion futures for February delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange’s Comex unit added 0.1% to $1,112.50 an ounce.

In the currency market, the movement was staying in tight range as the week starts.

The Japanese yen softened against the major currencies today as currency players anticipated more short covering in the greenback in a holiday-shortened week. Japan’s currency was quoted at 90.41 yen per dollar, virtually unchanged from the open.

The Hong Kong dollar was trading at HK$ 7.7539 against the dollar. Actually the Hong Kong dollar is pegged at HK$ 7.8 to the U.S. dollar but can trade between HK$ 7.75 and HK$7.85 to the U.S. dollar.

In Sydney trade, the Australian dollar remained on the defensive as its US counterpart maintained its recent turnaround and investors shied away from risk so close to the end of the year.

Finance Secretary Ashok Chawla said today there are no plans for any additional borrowing this year and added that not much can be done about food price inflation with steps including monetary policy.

Inflationary expectations in India will die out soon, Kaushik Basu, chief economic adviser to the finance ministry, said on Monday.He added that inflation in India was sector-specific, present in food prices, and would therefore need sectoral intervention.

The Reserve Bank of India's next scheduled policy review is at the end of January, but it can change policy settings at any time.

The central bank has said a rate rise risked complicating policy as it could attract more capital flows, which would add to money circulating in the economy and fuel price pressures.

In a report to parliament on Friday, the finance ministry said pressure on food prices was likely to continue, and food imports could help stem price rises. It also said a surge in capital inflows could lead to an inflationary spiral. The ministry said strong growth in the September quarter opened up the possibility that the economy could grow more than 7.75%, the top of the current forecast range, in the fiscal year to March 2010.

"Government is monitoring (the) price situation on (a) regular basis and containment of inflation is high on its agenda," Mukherjee said in a written reply to a lawmaker's question.
