Euro-zone composite PMI confirms March downturn
MADRID (MarketWatch) -- The downturn for manufacturing activity in the 17-nation euro zone worsened in March, according to the final Markit Eurozone Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index. The final manufacturing PMI dropped to a three-month low, unchanged from a preliminary estimate. New orders contracted at a faster rate than in February, leading to falling output and further job losses, according to Markit. " There were further signs that the manufacturing malaise already exhibited at the periphery of the currency bloc was spreading to the core," said Markit, noting that German PMI fell below the neutral 50 market for the first time in 2012 so far, while French manufacturing contracted at the sharpest pace since June 2009.

News on China's " unwillilngess" on soft policies might affect some property counters, maybe temporarily. Watch out for any counter measures then we know.

Japan stocks open above 10,000 mark after Wall Street gains
TOKYO (AFP) - Tokyo stocks opened above the 10,000 mark on Monday, up 0.87 per cent, following gains on Wall Street after a positive US job report and a private-debt deal to avert a disastrous default by Greece.
The Nikkei 225 index at the Tokyo Stock Exchange opened up 86.18 points at 10,015.92.
The benchmark index hit 10,007.62 in mid-afternoon trade on Friday, the first breach of 10,000 since August 1, but gave up some of its gains by the close.
Dealers said they expected Tokyo shares to extend Friday's gains after better-than-expected US non-farm payrolls data pushed the dollar above the 82.00 yen mark.

China Feb inflation slows to 3.2%
The consumer price index was 3.2 per cent in February - the lowest since June 2010 - compared with 4.5 per cent in January, when spending before the Chinese New Year holiday drove up retail prices. Before January, inflation had eased for five straight months after hitting a more than three-year high of 6.5 per cent in July and analysts had expected the downward trend to resume in February as the economy continued to slow. Premier Wen Jiabao, speaking at the opening of the annual session of parliament on Monday, warned consumer prices remained high and the government's aim was to keep the inflation rate within 4.0 per cent this year. His remarks suggest policymakers will be cautious in relaxing the tight credit restrictions imposed in the past two years to rein in soaring food and housing costs for fear of reigniting politically sensitive inflation. The producer price index, which measures the cost of goods at the farm and factory gate and is lead indicator of consumer prices, flatlined in February compared with a 0.1 per cent increase in January. -- AFP BEIJING - China's inflation rate slowed sharply in February from the previous month, official data showed Friday, giving Beijing more room to loosen credit restrictions to boost flagging economic growth. |
