Asian markets largely show signs of weakness; China outperforms

01 Jun 2012 Evaluate

Stock markets across the Asian region largely showed signs of weakness on the week’s last trading session as most markets in the region traded with around half a percent cuts. Cues from the overnight US markets also remained pessimistic as all the major indices there suffered a cut of about a quarter percent despite late hour recovery. Investors at large continued to fear about the global economic growth prospects after reports showed world’s largest economy grew at a weaker than expected pace of 1.9 percent in the first quarter of 2012, down from an earlier estimate of 2.2%. However, the downside in the regional markets remained capped following reports that the International Monetary Fund was preparing a contingency plan to rescue Spain if the country's financial situation continues to deteriorate.

Amid the largely sluggish scenario, the benchmarks in China and Hong Kong traded against  the tide in the positive territory despite reports that China's official purchasing managers' index slowed more than expected to 50.4 in May, the weakest reading this year and down from April's 13-month high. However investors there were of the belief that with the latest sign that output in the world's second-biggest economy is cooling, the Chinese government would be compelled to employ additional measures to stimulate the economy.
