Daily Report on January 03, 2017
Asian shares started the new year with a positive note on Tuesday, buoyed by confidence stemming from European equities which surged to the highest in a year on Monday. All of Asia's major markets along with Britain and Switzerland in Europe and the U.S. and Canada closed for the New Year holiday yesterday, leaving trade in other parts of the euro zone thin and volatile. Germany's DAX gained 0.9 percent to its highest in nearly 17 months while France's CAC soared 0.5 percent to a 13-month peak.
Solid factory growth in China and Europe gave the global manufacturing sector a fresh boost at the start of 2017. Data from a private business survey showed China's factory activity rose more than expected last month. Thanks to accelerating demand and soaring output, the Caixin/Markit Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' index (PMI) picked up in December, rising to 51.9, from 50.9 in the previous month. The reading hit the strongest level since January 2013.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan jumped rose 0.4 percent after finishing 2016 3.7 percent higher, recording its best year in four. Japanese market remained closed for an extended New Year holiday. The best performers in the region are Australian shares which saw the S&P/ASX 200 Index added 1.2 percent, advancing for the third time in four trading days. Hong Kong's Hang Seng and China’s CSI 300 index and the Shanghai Composite were all higher.
The People's bank of China (PBOC) on Tuesday nearly doubled the number of foreign currencies in a basket used to set the renminbi's value. From the first trading day of 2017, the central bank increased the number of currencies in the CFETS basket to 24 from 13, in an attempt to make the yuan index less influenced by moves in the U.S. dollar. After this change, the nominal dollar weighting in the new basket is reduced by 4 percent.
