Asian stock buoyed by US jobs data
Tags: NULL Asian stocks touched one-month highs after the latest US jobs data pacified for now investors who worried a second recession in the world’s biggest economy was nigh.Investor relief that the US employment report was not as bad as some had thought tempered demand for traditional safe-havens such as gold and government debt.But investors said the market mood, albeit improved, was far from buoyant. For one, the yen is still within sight of a 15-year peak on the dollar, while US Treasury yields were not far above historical or multi-month lows.“The jobs data was better than expected, but it’s not as if it improved drastically,” said Masayuki Otani, chief market analyst at Securities Japan, Inc.Price action also suggested investors were not diving into riskier assets just yet. The MSCI Asia stock index outside Japan added 0.7 percent, less than the S&P 500’s 1.3 per cent jump on Friday.Trading too was tempered by U.S. market holiday on Monday.Japan fared the best in Asia, with the Nikkei climbing 1.5 percent and the Topix rising 1.2 percent.Growth-sensitive exporters led the rise. Kyocera Corp climbed 2 percent; TDK Corp added 2.4 percent, and Tokyo Electron Ltd rose 1.9 per cent.U.S. data showed on Friday 54,000 government jobs were shed in August, less than the 100,000 the market had braced for. Some investors had expected even heftier losses.That took the shine off the US dollar’s appeal as a safe-haven currency, to the benefit of the euro and riskier currencies such as the high-yielding Australian dollar.Equally, gold, another traditional haven, eased a touch.Japanese government bond yields also hit an eight-week low. while most US Treasury two- to 10-year note futures edged lower.Oil, which tends to benefit when the growth outlook improves, was an anomaly on Monday.

CPI remains at 3.1pc
Share Tags: NULL CPI remains at 3.1pc Show Comments ▼ John Dunne 
Consumer price inflation held steady in August, after unexpectedly strong rises in airfares, clothes and food prices offset falling fuel costs, official data showed.The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said consumer price inflation came in at 3.1 per cent last month in contrast to economists’ expectations for a fall to 2.9 per cent. On the month, inflation jumped by 0.5 per cent, compared to a 0.2 per cent fall in July and forecasts for a 0.3 per cent increase.The largest upward effect on CPI came from air transport, with fares rising at their fastest pace for a month of August on record. Clothing and footwear prices saw their sharpest August rise since 2001, with a big impact from the cost of women’s outerwear at the start of the autumn season.Seasonal discounting occurred earlier in 2010 than in previous years, adding to the upward pressure in August.Food prices rose at their fastest annual pace since July 2009, with strong monthly rises in the cost of bread, cereals and vegetables.Producer price data earlier this month showed sharp increases in the cost of wheat due to drought in Russia pushing up global commodity prices.The alternate retail price index measure, which has a longer history and includes more housing costs, was also higher than expected in August. The measure fell to 4.7 per cent from 4.8 per cent, against expectations of a drop to 4.6 per cent.The figures are likely to be a concern to the Bank of England, which has blamed the rise of inflation above its two per cent target largely on one-off factors such as sterling weakness and a rise in value-added tax at the start of the year.Bank Governor Mervyn King had to write a public letter last month explaining why inflation had persisted above three per cent. New member of the Monetary Policy Committee Martin Weale faces a hearing before legislators later.Howard Archer of global Insight said: “Consumer price inflation disappointingly only held steady at 3.1 per cent in August, thereby bringing at least a temporary end to the gradual downward trend from the peak of 3.7 per cent in April.” Tuesday 14 September 2010 4:41 am whatsapp whatsapp

As in previous years, the lion’s share of global assets are managed in the United States, with the 217 members of the Absolute Return Billion Dollar Club alone accounting for combined assets of over $1.2 trillion. New York remains the biggest single centre of the industry, followed by London which is still in second place. Assets in standard European hedge funds did not rise at all in the first half.The rising centres include places in Asia such as Hong Kong, where the number of firms in the Billion Dollar Club jumped from six to 10 in the first half of the year; and in Latin America, where there are now five firms with $1bn or more in either Sao Paulo or Rio de Janeiro.

Motor industry bosses are axing the flagship British International Motor Show after more than a century, blaming the impact on the industry of the economic slump. The Society of Motor Manufacturers & Traders (SMMT) said the biennial show, which last took place in 2008 but was cancelled this year, would not be reinstated in 2012.The event first took place in 1903 at Crystal Palace and became a regular fixture on the motor industry’s calendar, taking place annually until 1976 when organisers decided to switch it to alternate years.Despite a rise in the number of people attending the last show in 2008, the industry decided it would be impossible to hold the event this year and in 2012 due to the economic downturn and “unprecedented challenges facing the industry in the UK and around the world”.The SMMT said the show had been “a tremendously successful showcase” for the UK motor industry, but had become less influential in recent years in persuading new car buyers to part with their cash. SMMT chief executive Paul Everitt said: “Vehicle manufacturers are focusing their limited resources on events and activities that have a more direct impact on brand awareness and consumer decisions.”The show last took place in July and August 2008 at the ExCel Centre in London’s Docklands.

Making his first speech to the CBI since becoming Labour’s new leader, Miliband said: “Despite all the talent in engineering and work in our universities, I fear Britain still suffers from an anti-manufacturing bias.“The way to support British businesses who want to lead in the industries of the future isn’t for government to do nothing. Government action can make a difference, and government inaction can make life harder.”Miliband added that this bias had allowed other countries to “steal a march” on the UK in areas such as the creative industries and biotechnology, as well as more traditional sectors of manufacturing. He said a Labour government would fund selected entrepreneurs. Tags: NULL

Clarke said the proposed reforms would save £350m by 2014-15.The current legal aid bill in England and Wales is a staggering £2bn – making it one of the most expensive in the world.Legal aid for criminal cases would not be affected by the changes, Clarke said.“It cannot be right that the taxpayer is footing the bill for unnecessary court cases which would never have even reached the courtroom door, were it not for the fact that somebody else was paying,” he told parliament.Cases involving domestic violence, forced marriage, or where children might be taken into care would still attract legal aid and bereaved families, including those of service personnel, would also be eligible for assistance at inquests.However, private family cases, issues of clinical negligence, education, employment, and welfare benefits would be excluded except in extreme cases where people’s lives, liberty or homes were at stake.Under the new system, all those with assets of £1,000 or more would have to pay a minimum of £100 towards their legal costs should their cases be successful.And to make court cases more affordable, lawyers’ fees will be reduced by 10 per cent.
