Written By Kontak Perkasa Futures on Friday, October 18, 2013 | 9:12 AM
Kontak Perkasa - Bloomberg ( 18/10 ) - Pemerintah Jepang
telah menunda deregulasi pasar tenaga kerja , terkait tantangan yang
dihadapi oleh Perdana Menteri Shinzo Abe terhadap bagian inti dari
strategi pertumbuhan Jepanguntuk menghidupkan kembali ekonomi terbesar
ketiga di dunia .
Kontrak kerja untuk pegawai tetap kemungkinan akan diperpanjang menjadi 10 tahun dari 5 tahun sebelumnya dalam zona ekonomi khusus di bawah peraturan baru yang akan diusulkan, berdasarkan laporan dari surat kabar Nikkei hari ini. Perubahan lain, termasuk mengangkat pembatasan jam kerja bagi para eksekutif kemungkinan tidak akan dilaksanakan, menurut Nikkei . Reformasi pasar tenaga kerja sangat penting untuk program 'panah ketiga' Abe yang lebih dikenal dengan kebijakan Abenomics untuk unruk menggerakan industri dan meletakkan dasar bagi pertumbuhan yang berkelanjutan. Aturan kebijakan ketenagakerjaan yang lebih longgar di daerah tertentu atau untuk beberapa perusahaan kemungkinan masih 'belum bisa diterapkan,' ungkap Nobuaki Koga, kepala Trade Union Confederation Jepang kemarin setelah pertemuan dengan para politisi dan pemimpin bisnis . Investor akan kehilangan kepercayaan terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi Jepang kecuali Abe menambahkan substansi untuk strategi pertumbuhan dan tidak bergantung pada stimulus, Hideo Hayakawa, yang sebelumnya menjabat sebagai direktur eksekutif di Bank of Japan mengatakan dalam sebuah wawancara di Tokyo pada minggu ini. Para pemimpin bisnis telah menyerukan perubahan peraturan ketenagakerjaan untuk memudahkan perekrutan dan pemberhentian sebagian sistem kerja seumur hidup di Jepang . (rk ) |

WTI Crude Fluctuates Near Three-Month Low Before China Data
Kontak Perkasa - Bloomberg (18/10) -- West Texas
Intermediate crude fluctuated near a three-month low before data from
China that may show the economic recovery is keeping pace in the world’s
second-biggest oil consumer.
Futures swung between gains and losses in New York and are poised for a second weekly decline. China will issue a raft of data today, with the world’s second-largest economy estimated to have expanded last quarter at the fastest pace this year, according to a Bloomberg survey. The nation will also report industrial production output for last month. The U.S. government will release crude stockpile figures on Oct. 21 that was delayed this week because of the partial government shutdown. WTI for November delivery was at $100.74 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange, up 7 cents, at 11:43 a.m. Sydney time. The contract fell $1.62, or 1.6 percent, to $100.67 yesterday, the lowest close since July 2. The volume of all futures traded was about 46 percent less than the 100-day average. Prices are down 1.3 percent this week. Brent for December settlement rose 6 cents to $109.17 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange. The European benchmark crude was at a premium of $8.19 to WTI for the same month. The spread narrowed for a second day yesterday to $8.24. WTI may drop next week after data from the industry-funded American Petroleum Industry showed surging U.S. crude inventories, according to a Bloomberg News survey. Twenty-three of 38 analysts and traders, or 61 percent, forecast futures will decrease through Oct. 25. Ten respondents said there will be little change and five projected a gain. The U.S., the world’s biggest crude consumer, will account for about 21 percent of global oil demand this year, the International Energy Agency estimates. |

Japan Shares Climb to Three-Week High as U.S. Reaches Debt Deal
Kontak Perkasa - Bloomberg (17/10) -- Japanese shares
rose, with the Topix index climbing to a three-week high, after the yen
weakened as U.S. lawmakers reached a tentative deal to end the
government shutdown and raise the debt ceiling.
The Topix gained 1.2 percent to 1,210.66
as of 9:02 a.m. in Tokyo, with all 33 subsectors climbing. The Nikkei
225 Stock Average added 1.3 percent to 14,653.76. The yen fell against
all 16 of its major peers and traded at 98.91 per dollar.
Futures on the Standard & Poor’s 500
Index gained 0.1 percent. The measure yesterday added 1.4 percent as
the bipartisan leaders of the Senate reached an agreement to end the
fiscal impasse and increase U.S. borrowing authority. The Senate is
currently voting on the deal, while the House plans to do so later
today. The White House press secretary said it has President Barack
Obama’s support. House Speaker John Boehner said Republicans won’t block
the Senate compromise.
With no deal, the U.S. would exhaust its
borrowing authority today and the government may start missing payments
at some point between Oct. 22 and Oct. 31, according to the
Congressional Budget Office. Fitch Ratings put the world’s biggest
economy on watch for a possible credit downgrade yesterday, citing
lawmakers’ inability to agree.

Dollar, Euro Climb to 3-Week Highs Versus Yen on U.S. Debt Deal
Kontak Perkasa - Bloomberg (17/10) -- The dollar and
euro climbed to a three-week high versus the yen as the Senate voted in
favor of a deal to end a U.S. government shutdown and raise the debt
limit, damping demand for haven assets.
The yen dropped versus major peers as Asian stocks rose. The greenback maintained yesterday losses versus higher-yielding currencies such as New Zealand’s with markets gauging the impact of the recent impasse on economic growth and prospects for the Federal Reserve to taper stimulus. Policy makers including Fed Bank of New York President William Dudley speak today. Australia’s dollar reached a four-month high before a Chinese report tomorrow forecast to show growth accelerated. “The yen is going to be under a little bit of pressure,” said Emma Lawson, the Sydney-based senior currency strategist at National Australia Bank Ltd. “There is still some uncertainty because the deal is effectively just kicking the problem down the road.” The dollar gained 0.1 percent to 98.89 yen as of 9:10 a.m. in Tokyo and touched 99.01, the most since Sept. 27. It rose 0.1 percent to $1.3523 per euro. Europe’s common currency was little changed at 133.70 yen after touching 133.84, the strongest level since Sept. 26. New Zealand’s currency was little changed at 84.24 cents following yesterday’s 0.5 percent advance. The Senate voted 81-18 to halt the 16-day shutdown and raise the borrowing limit. The House of Representatives plans to vote next and President Barack Obama supports the agreement. |
