Soyez craintifs quand les autres sont avides, soyez avides quand les autres sont craintifs.” Cet adage boursier, Warren Buffett, l’homme d’affaires américain multimilliardaire de 79 ans et star de Wall Street le respecte depuis toujours à la lettre.

En 2000, le “papy” de la finance était d’ailleurs resté parfaitement indifférent à l’euphorie générale autour des valeurs Internet, figurant ainsi parmi les rares investisseurs épargnés par l’éclatement de la bulle. Aujourd’hui, M. Buffett annonce au contraire des investissements en pagaille : quelques millions de dollars dans Wal-Mart, dans Exxon, et même plusieurs milliards dans une compagnie de chemin de fer. Au moment même où le marché s’inquiète.

L’évolution des indices à Paris, Londres, New York et Tokyo observée entre le lundi 16 et le vendredi 20 novembre, témoigne en effet de la frilosité et des hésitations des investisseurs. Sur la période, le CAC 40 a cédé 2,01 %, retombant à 3 729,36 points… un niveau de mars 1998. Le Footsie de Londres a lui reculé de 0,85 %, quand le S & P 500 aux Etats-Unis et le Nikkei au Japon cédaient respectivement 0,19 % et 2,79 %.

Le “papy de la finance”, aura-t-il raison contre la foule des investisseurs ? “Warren Buffett s’est parfois trompé “, prévient Jean-Louis Mourier, analyste chez Aurel BGC. De fait, pour la plupart des experts, les hésitations du marché ne sont pas absurdes, loin de là. Car si la reprise de l’économie mondiale est maintenant acquise, il y a beaucoup de “mais” à ajouter. Le premier est que cette reprise sera molle.

Jeudi 19 novembre, les prévisions de l’Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques (OCDE) ont confirmé que les trente pays de l’organisation sortiront de la récession en 2009, mais avec une croissance réduite à 1,9 % en 2010. La reprise sera “modeste” et soumise à de “fortes” incertitudes, a prévenu l’organisation.

Les statistiques de mises en chantier aux Etats-Unis, en net recul sur le mois d’octobre (- 10,9 %) indicateur clé, ont aussi illustré cette semaine l’aspect chaotique de la reprise. A Londres, c’est la banque spécialisée dans le crédit immobilier Nationwide, qui a refroidi les investisseurs sur le même sujet, en disant s’attendre à une importante rechute des prix de l’immobilier en 2010.

Pour les autres secteurs de l’économie, les dirigeants d’entreprise ne sont guère plus enthousiasmants. Le groupe agroalimentaire Danone a indiqué mercredi que les effets de la crise, la hausse du chômage et la réduction progressive des aides à l’économie, allaient peser sur les dépenses de consommation. Et aux Etats-Unis, l’éditeur de logiciels d’entreprise Autodesk et Salesforce.com ont fait état de résultats décevants, montrant que la reprise de l’industrie technologique n’était pas franchement explosive.

Quant à ceux qui croient néanmoins à une reprise franche et massive, ils ont aussi des motifs d’inquiétude. Les politiques budgétaires et monétaires d’après-crise sauront-elles gérer la transition ?

“Il y a un risque de gâcher la reprise”, alerte Marc Touati, directeur des études économiques chez Global Equities. De fait, la croissance va s’accompagner mécaniquement d’une reprise de l’inflation. M. Touati redoute alors de voir resurgir la Banque centrale européenne. Réputé pour son obsession à contenir la hausse des prix, l’institut monétaire pourrait décider d’une remontée des taux d’intérêt directeurs. Or, l’opération sera forcément mal accueillie par le marché, car elle contribue à renchérir le coût des crédits, et bride la croissance.

Bref, après s’être en peu emballés en voyant l’économie mondiale sortir du tunnel – les marchés en Europe et aux Etats-Unis ont gagné 50 % depuis mars – “les investisseurs sont un peu perdus”, commente Vincent Juvyns, spécialiste des investissements chez ING IM.

Pour autant, il n’y a pas lieu de crier à la catastrophe. Selon lui, le CAC 40 a encore une bonne marge de progression, et pourrait atteindre 4 500 points en 2010. Doucement et avec des yo-yo réguliers, mais tout de même. Certains experts croient notamment au potentiel des valeurs de l’énergie verte, des technologies de l’information ou des valeurs du secteur des télécommunications, peu spéculatives mais offrant un bon rendement.

Autrement dit, M. Buffett a peut-être bien raison d’acheter dès maintenant, avant tout le monde. “Le but est de découvrir des compagnies extraordinaires à des prix ordinaires, et non des compagnies ordinaires à des prix extraordinaires”, se plaît d’ailleurs à rappeler le septuagénaire.

(CFD.net.au – Contract for Difference, Share, Forex, ETFs, Commodities Traders) – The financial sector lifted the share market higher as investor optimism about US financial sector earnings increased.

Several US banking behemoths are reporting their latest results this week, and investors are hoping they will see further improvements in the banks’ bottom lines.

Australian investors are also hoping that some of the local banks’ write-downs will prove excessive in the face of a shallower than expected recession, meaning that there may be the chance of extra dividend payments to shareholders.

The ASX 200 finance sub-index added 1.4 per cent, while raw materials producers added 1.3 per cent, and retail stocks picked up 1.1 per cent.

Overall, the ASX 200 index advanced 1 per cent to 4,786, and the All Ordinaries climbed 44 points to 4,790.

Major movers

• The Commonwealth Bank was the biggest gainer among the big four, picking up 1.9 per cent to $53.65 after receiving a broker upgrade from Merrill Lynch, becoming the broker’s preferred Australian banking stock. However, the other major banks were not far behind with gains of more than 1.5 per cent.
• Both major miners gained on rising commodity prices, with BHP Billiton up 0.9 per cent and Rio Tinto gaining 1.5 per cent.
• Gold producers also continued their rise as gold hovered around record highs – Australia’s biggest gold producer Newcrest gained 2.6 per cent, while Lihir Gold climbed 1.9 per cent.
• Fairfax Media gained 1.8 per cent to $1.73 after the company’s board unanimously backed Roger Corbett to replace Ron Walker as chairman, following a messy public boardroom battle.
• Crown built on yesterday’s strong gains, rising another 2 per cent after the company confirmed that it was indeed James Packer that had bought an additional 3 per cent of the company, taking him to the limit he can own before launching a full takeover offer.
• Macquarie Media slid 4.3 per cent to $2.23 after revealing that one of its units may breach loan agreements, which would give creditors control of the unit.
• Babcock and Brown Infrastructure was today’s other biggest loser after being downgraded from “neutral” to “sell” by UBS. It lost 6.5 per cent to be worth 4.3 cents a share.

World markets

The major regional markets were also stronger on the back of strong rises in Europe overnight.

• In Tokyo, the Nikkei was 0.6 per cent higher at 10,076.
• Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was 1.8 per cent up at 5:00pm (AEDT).
• The Shanghai composite index was 0.9 per cent higher at 2,921.
• Singapore’s main share index gained a modest 6 points to 2,687.

European markets are expected to open slightly lower, as investors wait for US corporate earnings results.

Tonight will see reports from Intel and Johnson and Johnson, while General Electric, IBM, Google, Citigroup, Bank of America and Goldman Sachs are all due to report later this week.

West Texas crude oil was worth $US72.99 a barrel at about 5:00pm, while Tapis was at $US75.13.

Gold continued its strong run, with an ounce worth $US1,055.40.

The Australian dollar also sustained recent high levels, and at 5:00pm was fetching:

• 90.68 US cents
• 81.55 Japanese yen
• 61.34 Euro cents
• 57.41 British pence
• 1.2269 New Zealand dollars

Europa
Seguindo a tendência de Wall Street, as principais bolsas da Europa fecharam esta sexta-feira em queda. O destaque da sessão ficou por conta da revisão de estimativas de bancos para grandes corporações do velho continente.

Ásia
O índice Nikkei fechou o dia com desvalorização, pressionado pelo desempenho das empresas do setor de tecnologia.
Em uma reunião em Pequim nesta sessão, o porta-voz do banco central chinês, Zhou Xiaochuan, afirmou que “o país deve permanecer vigilante sobre a excessiva produção industrial depois que o plano de US$ 586 bilhões impulsionou novos investimentos urbanos”.

Essa declaração foi o suficiente para provocar incerteza em relação a China e fez com que o índice Xangai também encerrasse o dia em queda.

Beberapa saham di indonesia berpeluang menguat secara teknikal, tetapi bagaimana kondisi bursa regional? bisa dibilang mereka rawan koreksi, terlebih pada Nikkei yang sudah terkoreksi cukup dalam seperti pada gambar paling bawah ini.

DOWJONES:

Dow sudah mencapai resist di 10400. Saatnya koreksi. support ada di 9900 yang menjadi lower uptrend channel-nya. Waspadai volume terus menurun dari hari ke hari.

HANGSENG:

Chart Hangseng mirip dengan Dow, berada di area resist dan rawan koreksi. Support di 21770.

NIKKEI:

OUCH, ini khayalan, ilusi, atau imajinasi? setelah sempat membuat Triple Top pada lingkaran tengah itu, Nikkei secara big picture membentuk pola Head & Shoulder dan dia telah break resist-nya…support penurunan ada di 8514. Mungkin Jepang mengalami masalah yang sedikit berbeda dengan yang lain, dimana ia menjadi negara Net-Export dengan penguatan mata uang (JPY) berlebihan. Lihat saja Japan Airlines (JAL) yang menjadi target akuisisi akhir – akhir ini.

The London FTSE 100 Index added 0.90 per cent to reach 5154.64 while in Paris the CAC 40 rose 1.34 per cent to 3806.81. The Frankfurt DAX also gained 1.34 per cent to reach 5716.54.

Elsewhere there were gains of 0.79 per cent in Madrid, 1.40 per cent in Brussels, 0.73 per cent on the Swiss Market Index, 1.07 per cent in Milan and 1.79 per cent in Amsterdam.

US shares also forged higher as the market was energised by an earnings report from aluminum maker Alcoa showing a surprise return to profits.

The Alcoa report, the first from a blue-chip firm for the third quarter, offered hope that companies are regaining health as the economy improves.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average at mid-day had risen 1.04 per cent to 9827.15 while the tech-heavy Nasdaq advanced 1.00 per cent to 2126.35.

Patrick O’Hare at Briefing.com said Alcoa’s report late Wednesday “ceremoniously kicked off the third quarter reporting period. At the same time, it kicked more than a few short sellers in the mouth as the aluminum maker said mostly all the right things.”

The company said its net income was $77 million or eight cents a share in the quarter ended September, after three losing quarters.

O’Hare said Alcoa also offered an upbeat outlook for aluminum consumption, another sign of an improving global economy.

The market was also encouraged by news that initial claims for US jobless benefits in the week ended October 3 fell to a nine-month low of 521,000, another encouraging sign.

The report “reaffirms that labour market conditions are improving,” said Michael Bratus at Moody's Economy.com.

Among stocks in focus, Alcoa rallied 3.31 per cent to $US14.67, extending its rally of more than 10 per cent this week.

PepsiCo, which also reported earnings, fell 1.67 per cent to $US60.15 after the beverage and snacks maker reported a better-than-expected profit of $US1.72 billion but said it is “still feeling the pinch of the global recession.”

In London mining companies were among the day’s big winners on the back of rising commodity prices. Vedanta gained 4.04 pencent to reach 2.190 pence.

The auto sector led the way in Paris, with Peugeot adding 4.68 per cent to end the session at 21.585 euros while rival Renault gained 3.897 per cent to close at 33.625 euros.

In Frankfurt steel makers ThyssenKrupp and Salzgitter drew strength from the Alcoa results, the former adding 4.04 per cent to 23.96 euros and the latter 2.71 per cent to 68.30 euros.

Earlier in the day in Asia Tokyo’s benchmark Nikkei-225 Index closed up 0.34 per cent to 9832.47 points on Thursday after the strong yen took some of the shine off the positive lead overnight from Wall Street.

In the event Joe Stern-McGovern, President of Universal Artists, International, hasn’t made this point clear, in the name of the betterment of mankind, it is his intention to guide UAI into even further ventures of charity through the medium of the arts.

The Australian share market gave up early advances to end just under 1 per cent lower.

In early trade, the market defied last night’s falls on Wall Street with the ASX 200 rising as high as 4,758 at 10:49am (AEST) before following a regional share slide this afternoon.

The benchmark index finished the day 0.9 per cent lower at 4,701, with the All Ordinaries index down 37 points to 4,702.

However, today’s falls are small in comparison to the Australian share market’s 20 per cent rise over the three months to September, and 6 per cent rise during the last month, as local equities recovered some of the massive losses incurred during the global financial crisis.

Major movers

• Fortescue Metals fell 3.7 per cent to $3.68 after the company failed to meet a financing deadline, however analysts remain optimistic Fortescue will secure the billions of dollars in Chinese investment it wants to rapidly expand its iron ore output.
  
• Industrial maintenance provider Transfield Services fell 4.5 per cent to $4.06.
  
• Shopping centre giant Westfield slipped 4 per cent.
  
• QBE Insurance led a 1.5 per cent slide in the financial sector – it was down 3.2 per cent.
  
• All the major banks were down by well over 1 per cent, with the Commonwealth losing 85 cents to finish at $50.90.
  
• Retailers also slipped more than 1 per cent, led lower by Harvey Norman which was down 2.8 per cent to $4.18.
  
• However, Macquarie Airports was up 3.9 per cent to $2.95 after shareholders shed their Macquarie yoke and the company announced a discounted rights issue.
  

World markets

Regional markets generally fell, following the negative lead from Wall Street and Europe. However, communism showed it can still shut down financial markets, with the Hang Seng and Shanghai exchanges closed to mark 60 years since Chairman Mao created the People’s Republic of China.

• In Tokyo, the Nikkei finished 1.5 per cent lower at 9,979.
  
• Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was closed.
  
• The Shanghai composite index was also shut.
  
• Singapore’s main share index was 15 points down at 2,658.
  

West Texas crude oil was worth $US69.87 a barrel shortly before 5:00pm (AEST), and Tapis was fetching $US68.89.

Gold was back above the thousand dollar mark at $US1,005.06 an ounce.

The Australian dollar continued its surge early in the day, reaching a peak of 88.60 US cents at 10:40am, before being weighed down by profit taking during the afternoon. Around 5:00pm it was worth:

• 87.93 US cents
  
• 79.22 Japanese yen
  
• 60.37 Euro cents
  
• 55.13 British pence
  
• 1.2191 New Zealand dollars

As TV Tokyo’s World Business Satellite late night news program was drowned out by the sound of my washing up, I picked up the words “Australian Central Bank” – and turned to see that the 0.25% consecutive rate rise by the Reserve Bank of Australia had indeed been picked up by the late night news team on the TV channel affiliated with Japan’s ubiquitous financial newspaper, the Nikkei (Nihon Keizai) Shimbun.

And the presenters quickly showed why – a graph of central bank (official) rates in several countries showed that Australia was well higher than Norway, the EU, and the US, which had flatlined to the same level as Japan. Hence, whether the typical reading for such a macroeconomic policy movement be to curb spending, increase investment, or prevent deflation, for investors, Australia clearly offers one of the highest cash rates among OECD countries, and one of the first to begin raising rates (at least so the WBS graph seemed to indicate).

And, while there macroeconomic policies – or at least the policies on controlling official rates – may differ, it seems that Australia (HT political fiend) and Japan may well have in common a massive blowout in the public budget. On Monday the Hatoyama Cabinet was being subjected to questions and patronising remarks by LDP lawmakers as I tried to recover from jetlag after a delayed flight from Copenhagen. I only imagined the same thing was happening in Canberra, if only I could get off the couch to switch on the live feed from parliament…

Again, the difference is that Australia’s blowout is real; the Hatoyama blowout is still only on paper, for now. But let’s not forget the LDP has rung up public debt in the neighbourhood of 200% of GDP before the DPJ took power last month.

Najpierw przyjrzyjmy się nieco historii:

Tokijska Giełda Papierów Wartościowych została utworzona 15 maja 1878 roku jako Tokyo Kabushiki Torihikijo pod kierownictwem ówczesnego ministra finansów Okumy Shigenobu oraz przedsiębiorcy Shibusawy Eiichiego. Handel na giełdzie rozpoczął się 1 czerwca 1878 roku. W 1943 roku giełda w Tokio została połączona z 10 innymi giełdami w największych miastach japońskich tworząc Nippon Shōken Torihikisho. Nippon Shōken Torihikisho została zamknięta wkrótce po zbombardowaniu Nagasaki. Została ponownie otwarta 16 maja 1949 roku.

Do głównych indeksów notowanych na TSE zaliczamy Nikkei 225 oraz Topix.
Nikkei 225 należy do najważniejszych indeksów giełdowych w Azji. Od 1971 roku jest codziennie wyliczany przez dziennik Nihon Keizai Shimbun. Indeks obejmuje 225 największych spółek. Do tego indeksu należą między innymi Bridgestone Corp., Canon Inc., Casio Computer Co., Mitsubishi Motors Corp., Sony Corp., Toyota Motor Corp.
Raz w roku dokonuje się rewizji składu indeksu.

Topix natomiast obrazuje wszystkie spółki notowane na rynku podstawowym.

Na zakończenie standardowo, parę fotek z Tokio, prawda że jest tam pięknie?

Hoje é feriado no Brasil, mas lá fora tem mercado e pelo que estamos observando, ele não esta tendencioso, na Europa por exemplo enquanto o FTSE 100, recua as praças francesas e espanholas caminham rumo a alta.

Por aqui a tendência altista passou e agora em tendência de baixa, os analistas da Focques recomendam atenção para os suportes de 61.447 pontos e 61.378 pontos, quem apostou que teríamos um final de ano com ganhos é melhor começar a rever sua estratégia e apertar o cinto de segurança.

O índice Nikkei da Bolsa de Valores de Tóquio abriu em baixa de 266,79 pontos (2,66%), aos 9.757,75.

O índice Topix, que reúne todos os valores da primeira seção, caiu 19,02 pontos (2,12%), para 875,65.

A julgar pelos números de sexta-feira, onde todas as principais praças recuaram novamente, essa semana não parece mostrar nenhuma diferença.

Os japoneses já começaram a semana em queda, nesse final de semana o grupo financeiro CIT, anunciou seu pedido de concordata.

A semana só esta começando e já esta prometendo ser fervorosa!

(CFD.net.au – Contract for Difference, Share, Forex, ETFs, Commodities Traders) – The Australian share market has taken a breather to end a strong week of gains.

The All Ordinaries index had gained about 200 points so far this week, so it was not a surprise that it ran out of steam on Friday.

The All Ordinaries closed 9 points lower at 4,755, and the ASX 200 lost 0.3 per cent to end the week at 4,753.

But investors have taken heart from the interest rate rise and Reserve Bank’s upbeat analysis on Tuesday, the fall in unemployment figures on Thursday, and a report today from the World Economic Forum naming Australia as the second best financial centre in the world – although with the UK at number one and the US still third, despite subprime, it does make you wonder about what criteria it was using.

 

Major movers

 

 

• Telstra was in the news again today, submitting its response to the Federal Government’s plan to forcibly split its retail and wholesale businesses. Unsurprisingly, it is opposed to a separation, but its a battle shareholders seem to think Telstra will lose, with its shares down more than 2 per cent.
• There have been reports in Fairfax media outlets that major shareholders have agreed on former Woolworths boss Roger Corbett as the company’s next chairman. Fairfax shares have closed 1.8 per cent higher, on hopes the deal will end the boardroom battles that have racked the company in recent weeks.
• Financial stocks have had a pretty good day. AMP led the way, jumping 5 per cent after it announced it is joining the big banks in passing on the Reserve Bank’s 25 basis point rate rise.
• Gold is still hovering just under its record highs, and Australia’s biggest producer, Newcrest, has picked up 1.6 per cent on speculation that it is a takeover target for the world’s biggest goldminer, Newmont.
• Pacific Brands also had a strong day, gaining 12 per cent after a broker upgrade by JP Morgan.

 

 

World markets

 

Asian markets generally gained after last night’s mildly positive lead from Wall Street.

 

• In Tokyo, the Nikkei was 1.5 per cent higher at 4:22pm (AEDT).
• Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was 36 points higher at 21,529.
• The Shanghai composite index gained a very strong 3.8 per cent.
• Singapore’s main share index was a mere 3 points higher at 2,654.

 

West Texas crude oil was fetching $US71.15 a barrel at 4:24pm, and Tapis was worth $US72.20.

Gold is still hovering just under record highs – it was worth $US1,048.47.

The Australian dollar also slipped from peaks reached early this morning Sydney time of 90.90 US cents, but was still well above the 90 cent mark this afternoon. At 4:24pm it was fetching:

 

• 90.37 US cents
• 80.62 Japanese yen
• 61.38 euro cents
• 56.37 British pence
• 1.2221 New Zealand dollars

“The market sentiment here is likely to remain positive in line with recoveries in global markets,” said Katsuhiro Kondo, an analyst at Tokai Tokyo Securities, on Friday.

“The market sentiment here is likely to remain positive in line with recoveries in global markets,” said Katsuhiro Kondo, an analyst at Tokai Tokyo Securities, on Friday.

“The chances are high that the Nikkei will stay above 10,000 points as there must be more room for a rise in Japanese shares,” which have lagged behind overseas markets recently, Kondo said.

In the week to October 9, the Nikkei-225 index gained 284.52 points, or 2.92 percent, to 10,016.39. The benchmark indicator ended above the key 10,000 point level on Friday for the first time in more than a week.

The broader Topix index of all first section shares gained 23.16 points, or 2.65 per cent, to 897.83.

“Attention will be paid to earnings results of key US firms, including Intel, to be released next week,” said Kondo.

This week’s recovery in Japanese shares was also due to a slowdown in the rapid rise in the yen’s value against the dollar.

“Players are relieved to see a stability in the dollar-yen rate, but if the yen advances further, a cautious mood may spread among Players,” said Hirokazu Fujiki, a strategist at Okasan Securities.

The market will also look to a monetary policy meeting of the Bank of Japan on Wednesday and governor Masaaki Shirakawa’s news conference.

“There won’t be any rate change this time, but we need to watch Shirakawa’s remarks on his prospect for Japan’s macro economy,” Fujiki said.

“Players will also start paying attention to the corporate performance of Japanese companies as another earnings season will begin later this month,” Fujiki said.

October 7, 2009

Gold trimmed some gains but hovered near the all-time high of $US1043.45, compounding the dollar’s woes after the US currency was hit the previous day by a report that major countries were looking for alternatives in oil trade settlement.

Oil prices rose 50 cents a barrel to $US71.38, holding on to broad gains scored the previous day as commodities surged on hopes that global demand was picking up.

Australian miners and Japanese trading houses were among the big winners, with shares of Rio Tinto up 3.8 per cent amd Mitsubishi Corp gaining 5.3 per cent.

“Resources on the whole … are leading the way on what seems to be the ever-weakening US dollar,” said David Barrett-Lennard, commodities dealer at CMC Markets.

Some investors also took heart from Australia’s central bank lifting interest rates the previous day, the first of any Group of 20 nation to do so in a sign that the emergency measures put in place to stem the financial crisis are gradually being unwound.

The move fueled gains of more than 1 per cent on Wall Street, underscoring for many that the global economy was on the mend.

However, analysts noted that Australia is a special case because its economy and banking system were mostly sheltered from the global crisis and has benefitted from China’s aggressive efforts to Stockpile resources and kick start growth.

Central banks in the West are unlikely to raise rates for some time as the strength of their economic recoveries is far from certain.

Federal Reserve officials remain cautious about unwinding emergency measures. Kansas City Fed President Thomas Hoenig said late on Tuesday that the US economy is clearly recovering but that it is too soon for the Fed to withdraw its massive support.

The MSCI index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was up 1.1 per cent, with the material sector the biggest gainer on the day. The Thomson Reuters index of regional shares edged up 0.7 per cent.

Japan’s Nikkei average gained 0.9 per cent, with financials getting a boost from a rise in US counterparts the previous day after Goldman Sachs upgraded the sector. The banking sector on the Tokyo Stock Exchange first sector rose 3.6 per cent.

Dollar on the backfoot

The dollar edged up slightly after getting hit the previous day by the combination of a surging Australian dollar, gold and commodities.

The dollar index, a gauge of its performance against six major currencies, drifted up 0.2 per cent to 76.459 but is still near a 13-month low of 75.827 hit in September.

The dollar edged up 0.2 per cent against the yen to 88.95 yen but has slid back near an eight-month low of 88.23 yen hit last month. Those levels are seen as painful to Japanese exporters by slashing the value of their overseas revenue.

Japanese Finance Minister Hirohisa Fujii told the Wall Street Journal that current yen levels were consistent with acceptable market activity and were not “extremely abnormal,” the latest signal Japan’s new government is taking a more hands-off approach on currency policy.

Fujii and other officials have made remarks suggesting they could intervene to stem yen strength, though many market players believe such intervention is unlikely unless the yen’s rise becomes more volatile.

The Australian dollar hovered near 14-month highs against the US dollar in the wake of the rate increase on Tuesday, which sent the Aussie up nearly 1.4 per cent.

Government bonds slipped on the gains in Stocks and prospect of central bank rate hikes in some countries.

Korean bond futures slipped 3 ticks to 108.72 after Australia’s rate hike was seen as paving the way for a move in South Korea where its central bank is worried about a rebounding property market.
