Asia markets focus on dollar weakness, commodities, on last trading day of 2016 Futures pointed to a negative open for Asian shares on the last trading day of the year, after Wall Street closed lower without a Santa Claus rally in sight. Nikkei futures traded below the benchmark index' s Thursday finish at 19,145.14 Osaka futures traded down 0.76 percent at 19,000, while Chicago futures were 0.29 percent lower at 19,090. Australian benchmark ASX 200 opened down 0.36 percent, dragged by its financials sub-index, which fell 0.77 percent. Investors will likely watch Australia' s housing credit and private sector credit. Several economic indicators from India are due later in the day, including circulation deficit, foreign debt and trade figures. Oil prices fell after U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data showed a surprise build in U.S. crude stockpiles, although both crude benchmarks have made big gains this month after news of an OPEC and non-OPEC production cut deal. U.S. crude was down 0.5 percent to settle at $ 53.77 a barrel on Thursday in the U.S., while global benchmark Brent fell 0.1 percent to close at $ 56.14. U.S. crude futures rose 8 percent to date in December alone, while Brent jumped 10.5 percent. |

Stocks close lower in light year-end trading U.S. stocks closed lower on Thursday in light year-end trading as traders began to look ahead to 2017. The U.S. announced sanctions against Russian individuals and organizations it believes interfered with the 2016 U.S. election. However, traders said it was likely not affecting stocks. The Dow Jones industrial average first went negative during late-morning trade, led by JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, which finished at the bottom of the index along with DuPont. The Dow is down 0.57 percent this week and is on pace for its first negative Week since before the election. It continues to be up 13.74 percent year to date. Meanwhile, the S & P 500 ended the day down 0.03 percent, with the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund as the biggest laggard, down nearly three quarters of a percent. The index is up 10.05 percent year to date. Other investors can not seem to agree on whether the market has checked out for the year or is just taking a breather before sprinting to the finish. " It' s been a tumultuous year, both politically and in the markets with ups and downs, and people have decided to check out early," Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist at MUFG Union Bank, said. On the data front, jobless claims declined by 10,000 to 265,000, according to Thursday morning' s Labor Department report. This marks the 95th straight week that claims were below 300,000, a threshold associated with a healthy labor market. Jobless claims were expected to drop to 264,000 For the week ending Dec. 24, according to economists polled by Reuters. While in oil, WTI settled down at $ 53.77, while Brent was down 8 cents, at $ 56.14 a barrel. Read more.... |

Straits Times Index 2,889.15 -0.32% -9.15▼ Singapore stocks close weaker but STI stays in the black for 2016 THROUGHOUT 2016, the 2,882 level has proven troublesome for the Straits Times Index (STI), this being the point at which the index ended 2015. After four or five failed attempts to stay above it during the past 12 months, a window-dressing push On Tuesday and Wednesday this week that took the index almost to 2,900 was thwarted on Thursday after an overnight plunge on Wall Street brought the sellers out. In thin volume, the index first dropped to an intraday low of 2,878 before either a bout of short-covering or yet another feeble window-dressing attempt enabled it to climb to 2,889.15, a net loss of 9.15 points on the day , A gain of about seven points or 0.24 per cent for the year with only one trading day left. |

US stock indexes fall as an afternoon slide accelerates Banks led a broad slide in U.S. stocks Wednesday that more than wiped out gains from the day before. After an early upward turn, the stock market veered into the red by midmorning, the losses accelerating as the day wore on. Basic materials companies, industrials, utilities and energy stocks were among the biggest decliners. Trading was light ahead of the New Year' s Day holiday. Two stocks fell for every one that rose on the New York Stock Exchange. " Volume is pretty weak, so there' s no aggressive selling taking place," said Bob Doll, chief equity strategist at Nuveen Asset Management. " It' s more sellers locking in some better gains than they thought they were going to get this year. Really good year, so letting a little go is just fine. In a week featuring a dearth of major economic or company data, investors got some insight into the U.S. housing market. A report from the National Association of Realtors found that fewer Americans signed contracts to buy homes in November. The NAR said its seasonally adjusted pending home sales index fell 2.5 percent to 107.3 percent, the lowest reading since the start of this year. The slowdown marks a reversal for the housing market, as sales growth has been solid for the past year. Homebuilder stocks closed mostly lower, with William Lyon Homes losing the most. It fell 64 cents, or 3.2 percent, to $ 19.33. Shares in oil and natural gas drilling companies also declined. Markets overseas were mostly subdued. In Europe, Germany' s DAX and France' s CAC 40 each ended essentially flat. Britain' s FTSE 100 posted a record-high close of 7,106.08, a gain of 0.5 percent. In Asia, Japan' s Nikkei 225 was flat. Australia' s S & P ASX 200 gained 1 percent. Kong' s Hang Seng index gained 0.8 percent. South Korea' s Kospi dropped 0.9 percent. Benchmark US crude rose 16 cents to close at $ 54.06 a barrel in New York. It rose 88 cents on Tuesday. Brent crude, used to price international oils, climbed 13 cents to close at $ 56.22 a barrel in London. Before. Among metals, the price of gold rose $2.10 to $1,140.90 an ounce. Silver added 5 cents to $16.04 an ounce. Copper fell 2 cents to $2.50 a pound. |
