DAILY REPORT st
21 AUGUST 2014
Global markets at a glance Asian shares came under pressure on Thursday as a disappointing survey on Chinese manufacturing stoked concerns about the regional giant and overshadowed better news from Japan. The HSBC/Markit Flash China Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) fell to 50.3 in August from July's 18-month high of 51.7, badly missing a Reuters forecast of 51.5. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan skidded 0.6 percent, with indices in South Korea and Taiwan in the red. Tokyo's Topix was still up 0.8 percent, while the Nikkei gained 0.9 percent. Hong Kong Hang Seng Index edged up to a new six-year closing high on Wednesday, underpinned by strong global markets and upbeat corporate earnings. The Hang Seng Index rose 0.2 percent to 25,159.76 pts, its best close since May 2008. The China Enterprises index of the leading offshore Chinese listings in Hong Kong was down 0.4 percent. Several major companies and banks in Hong Kong posted stronger-than-expected first-half earnings late on Tuesday. Wall Street U.S. stocks finished Wednesday largely higher after the minutes from the Federal Reserve's July policy meeting suggested that the labor market is improving to the point that rate hikes may come sooner than later. At the close of U.S. trading, the Dow 30 rose 0.35%, the S&P 500 index rose 0.25%, while the NASDAQ Composite index fell 0.02%, mainly due to profit taking. The Volatility S&P 500 index, which measures the outlook for market volatility, was down 3.28% at 11.81.
