Hong Kong Stocks Fall Second Day as Materials Producers Retreat
Written By Kontak Perkasa Futures on Tuesday, September 24, 2013 | 9:22 AM
Bloomberg, (24/9) -- Hong Kong stocks
fell a second day, with the equity benchmark heading for a one-week low,
as materials producers extended declines on commodity prices.
The Hang Seng Index lost 0.3 percent to
23,309.74 as of 9:30 a.m. in Hong Kong, with about two shares falling
for each that gained on the 50-member gauge. The Hang Seng China
Enterprises Index, also known as the H-share index, declined 0.2 percent
to 10,690.29.
The Hang Seng Index gauge climbed 7.6
percent this year through yesterday amid signs of mainland economic
recovery and after the Federal Reserve unexpectedly refrained from
cutting stimulus. The equity benchmark traded at 11.2 times estimated
earnings yesterday, compared with 15.4 for the Standard & Poor’s
500. The H-share index entered a bull market this month after rebounding
more than 20 percent from a June low.
Futures on the S&P 500 fell 0.1
percent. The gauge fell 0.5 percent yesterday as financial shares
slumped and investors watched speeches from central bank officials for
clues on monetary policy. New York Fed President William C. Dudley and
the Atlanta Fed’s Dennis Lockhart said yesterday stimulus is still
needed, while Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher said not tapering $85
billion a month in bond purchases harmed the central bank’s credibility.
The Fed is expected to wait until
December before taking the first steps in slowing stimulus, after
Chairman Ben S. Bernanke maintained the pace of asset purchases last
week, according to 24 of 41 economists surveyed Sept. 18-19 by Bloomberg
News.

Gold firms after 3-day drop, Fed uncertainty persists
Singapore, Reuters, (24/9) - Gold
edged higher on Tuesday following three days of losses, but gains were
limited on uncertainty over when the U.S. Federal Reserve would begin
tapering its stimulus measures.
Spot gold rose 0.5 percent to $1,327.46 an ounce by 0018 GMT, while silver gained nearly 1 percent. The Federal Reserve must for now continue to push hard against threats to the U.S. recovery, but should still be able to reduce its support for the economy later this year, New York Fed President William Dudley said on Monday. Just last week, the Fed surprised the markets by deciding not to reduce its asset purchases from the current $85-billion monthly pace. The markets had widely expected the bank to reduce the bond purchases by $10 billion from September. Goldcorp Inc is not ruling out new takeovers and might even take a look at big, capital-intensive gold-mining projects, Chief Executive Chuck Jeannes told Reuters on Monday, outlining a stance that puts the company at odds with many of its competitors. Gold importers in India are hoping their old stocks lying at airports would get customs clearance by Tuesday, following a meeting with government officials last week, before they ship more for exporters ahead of the peak Christmas season. SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, said its holdings fell 0.07 percent, or 0.6 tonnes, to 909.59 tonnes on Monday. http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/24/markets-precious-idUSL4N0HK01N20130924 |

Asian Stocks Extend Four-Month High, Driven By Japanese Shares
Written By Kontak Perkasa Futures on Friday, September 20, 2013 | 9:30 AM
Bloomberg(20/9) -- Asian stocks rose, with the regional benchmark index on course for the largest weekly advance since April, as a weaker yen boosted Japanese shares.
Volumes were below average with markets in Hong Kong, China, South Korea and Taiwan closed for holidays. Nikon Corp., a camera maker that gets 85 percent of sales outside Japan, climbed 5.3 percent. Shiseido Co. surged 5.4 percent in Tokyo as Citigroup Inc. recommended buying shares of the comestics maker. Declines among raw-material shares limited gains on the regional benchmark gauge.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index rose 0.2 percent to 141.37 as of 9:43 a.m. in Tokyo, poised for a third straight week of gains and extending a four-month high. The measure climbed 2.9 percent this week through yesterday after the Federal Reserve unexpectedly refrained from reducing stimulus measures, saying it wants more evidence of an economic recovery before paring its $85 billion-a-month in bond purchases. A Bloomberg survey of economists had forecast a $5 billion reduction.
“The dollar will strengthen against the yen in the long run on the U.S. economic recovery, which is good for Japanese stocks,” said Juichi Wako, a Tokyo-based equity market strategist at Nomura Securities Co., the nation’s biggest brokerage. “It’s a matter of when the Federal Reserve will start tapering its stimulus.”

Emas Menuju Kinerja Mingguan Terbaik Pasca Kejutan Dari The Fed
Singapura, Reuters (20/9) - Emas masih bergerak di dekat level tertinggi satu minggu pada Jumat pagi dan berada di jalur untuk kenaikan mingguan terbesarnya dalam lima minggu terakhir setelah Federal Reserve AS menunda pemangkasan langkah-langkah stimulus yang selama ini telah menjadi sahabat bullion.
Spot emas turun 0.1 persen menjadi $ 1,363.19 per ounce pada pukul 07:18 WIB, tidak jauh dari satu minggu tertingginya di $ 1,374.54 yang tercatat hari Kamis lalu. Harga mencatat perolehan gain hampir 4 persen selama minggu ini. Awal pekan ini, Ketua the Fed, Ben Bernanke menolak berkomitmen untuk mulai mengurangi pembelian obligasi bank sentral seperti yang telah di gaungkannya beberapa bulan lalu dan bahkan mengatakan bahwa 'belum ada jadual yang tetap' terkait waktu pengurangan skala pembelian obligasi. Banyak yang telah memperkirakan pemangkasan sekitar $10 milyar dari $85 milyar pembelian obligasi bulanan. Bullion, yang telah turun hampir 20 persen tahun ini dalam mengantisipasi pemangkasan pembelian obligasi, telah diuntungkan oleh aksi short-covering dan pembelian teknis karena pernyataan pasca FOMC the Fed pada Rabu lalu. Societe Generale masih tegas 'bearish' -nya pada emas meskipun ada kejutan dari The Fed Rabu lalu. Bank investasi tersebut tetap memperkiraan harga emas rata-rata yang tidak berubah pada kisaran $ 1.225 per ounce untuk kuartal keempat dan sekitar $ 1100 untuk tahun 2014. India telah mengadakan pertemuan pejabat tinggi dari kementerian keuangan dan perdagangan di New Delhi pada hari Jumat untuk memecahkan kebuntuan selama dua bulan atas impor emas yang telah menekan pasokan dan mendorong kenaikan harga di konsumen emas terbesar dunia tersebut. SPDR Gold Trust, reksadana emas yang diperdagangkan di bursa dan terbesar di dunia mencatat kepemilikannya naik 0,10 persen, atau 0,88 ton menjadi 912,00 ton pada hari Kamis kemarin. (brc) |
