August 20, 2014 – Indices News
Asian markets were little changed today as BHP Biliton, the world’s largest mining company, dragged down materials shares when the it announced that it would not go through with a share buyback expected by many investors. Furthermore, worse than expected trade data from Japan had a very mixed effect on the market: On the one hand, bearish data tends to hurt equities. On the other hand, this bad information pushed the yen lower – an action that will increase the earnings of major Japanese exporters in the future. Not surprisingly, recent bullish forces in the far east were counteracted somewhat, with the Hang Seng rising 0.15%, the ASX 200 up 0.19%, and the Nikkei up 0.03%.
