26 Feb 2014 Evaluate

The Asian markets concluded Wednesday’s trade on a mixed note, with Japan’s Nikkei average closing in red after hitting a four-week closing high the previous day, as investors took profits after weak US economic data soured sentiment. China’s credit-market gauges are triggering alarm bells, as banks grow cautious in lending to each other while investors prefer the safest government bonds. Foreign Direct Investment in Shanghai rose 10.5% in January from a year earlier to $1.093 billion, consistent with last year’s annual pace but slower than the national average of 16% for the month.

In Hong Kong, the Financial Secretary John Tsang has predicted GDP growth of 3% to 4%, and headline and underlying inflation of 4.6% and 3.7%. The country’s economy grew 2.9% last year, a marked improvement over the 1.5% growth seen in 2012. Hong Kong GDP rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.1%, from 0.5% in the preceding quarter. Singaporean Industrial Production fell to an annual rate of 3.9%, from 6.2% in the preceding month while South Korean Consumer Confidence fell to 108, from 109 in the preceding month.
