Asian markets stage rebound, but Nikkei at lowest level since October 2008 - The Star

PETALING JAYA: Asian markets reeled on the first trading day of the week following the earthquake off Japan's coast last Friday afternoon but staged a rebound by midday yesterday except for the Tokyo Stock Exchange, which declined to the lowest since early October 2008.

The Tokyo bourse's benchmark Nikkei 225 slumped as concerns grew the tragedy might tip the third largest economy back into recession, with some reports estimating the costs could run well over US$100bil.

The exchange said that trading of Topix Index futures, which tracks Japanese companies listed in the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, was halted for 15 minutes after the opening due to a big gap between buy and sell orders. The index shed 7.49% to 846.96 at the close.

The yen, which weakened at midday against most major currencies, regained some strength and was higher against the US dollar and euro.

The Tokyo bourse's benchmark Nikkei 225 slumped as concerns grew the tragedy might tip the third largest economy back into recession, with some reports estimating the costs could run well over US$100bil.

The yen, which weakened at midday against most major currencies, regained some strength and was higher against the US dollar and euro.

Bank of Japan governor Masaaki Shirakawa said that “massive” liquidity would be used to assure financial stability with some US$183bil to be injected into the financial system.

Trading was volatile with markets in the region retreating early in the morning before regaining some ground to close mixed.

European markets opened lower while US stock futures fell on fears the earthquake in Japan, coming on the heels of higher crude oil prices, would put more pressure on the fragile recovery in the developed economies.

Spot gold rose by US$7.48 to US$1,424.82 per ounce at 5pm on risk aversion while the oil trade on Nymex was US$2.44 lower at US$98.72 per barrel on views that demand for oil would be lower in Japan as activities slowed. more ...
