\n\tAsian equities traded in the green today, after a bounce in US stock futures helped shore up sentiment, and overcome headwinds from Friday’s sell-off, triggered by President Trump’s plan to impose USD 100B in additional tariffs on China.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tReports of a US attack in Syria, which were quickly denied by the Pentagon, did not evoke a reaction from the markets. Volumes are back to normal, as China reopens from the extended Ching Ming holidays.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tJapanese markets are clearly positive, although it had a muted opening. Australian banks were the only sector on the ASX that traded in the red, after cameoing in the green. China did not seem to show any major directional cues – the Chinese markets have been dogged by the threat of trade war, especially US tariffs. <\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tPresident Trump tweeted that he expected China to take down trade barriers, because it was the ‘right thing’ to do.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tThe latest souring of risk sentiment and a soft report on U.S. payrolls helped sovereign debt end last week on a firm note. Yields on U.S. 10-year Treasury debt nudged up to 2.797 percent on Monday, though that compared to a top of 2.8380 last week. <\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tYen edged lower against the majors, while the euro bounced from the trough of 1.2212 against the dollar. Gold eased slightly, whereas crude edged up.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tMonday, April 9th 2018 <\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tTuesday, April 10th<\/sup> 2018<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tWednesday April 11th<\/sup>, 2018<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tThursday, April 12th<\/sup> 2018<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tFriday April 13th<\/sup> 2018<\/span>\n<\/p>\n Global Markets: Asian Stock Markets : Nikkei up 0.67%, Shanghai Composite up 0.16%, Hang Seng up 1.33%, ASX up 0.35% Commodities : Gold at $1336.30 (+0.01%), Silver at $16.41 (+0.29%), WTI Oil at $67.39 (+0.42%), Brent Oil at $62.30 (+0.39%) Rates : US 10-year yield at 2.794, UK 10-year yield at 1.398, Germany 10-year … Continue reading Monday 9th April: Asian markets firmer, after rebound in US equity futures<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25967,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25979","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ic-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25979","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ic-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ic-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ic-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ic-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25979"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/ic-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25979\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25982,"href":"https:\/\/ic-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25979\/revisions\/25982"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ic-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ic-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25979"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ic-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25979"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ic-cn-asia.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25979"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n\tUpcoming Events:<\/strong>
