SINGAPORE (Reuters) -- Asian stocks were mixed on Wednesday as investors
pondered whether a slide in oil prices from last week's record high was the
start of a new trend.
With Iraqi oil output restored to near-normal levels, some analysts said it
might be time to begin unwinding a risk premium of as much as $10 a barrel.
Weaker oil boosted the yen and the dollar overnight but they held steady in
Asian trade.
Gold was near flat after dropping about $6 an ounce overnight, and Japanese
government bond prices were little changed after an auction of 20-year debt
attracted the strongest demand in nearly seven years.
Oil moved up 20 cents, or just under half a percent, to $45.41 a barrel,taking
a breather after three days of sharp declines. That positioned the main
futures contract about $4 per barrel off a record high of $49.40 set on Friday
"It's a very tiny, insignificant gain, and a further downward correction will
come as concerns about Iraqi supplies have somewhat eased," said Tony Nunan,
manager at Mistsubishi Corp.'s international pertroleum unit.
Japan's Nikkei average finished the morning session flat at 10,985.05.
Banks were in the spotlight following the latest move in the takeover battle
for UFJ Holding Inc.. UFJ, Japan's fourth-biggest banking group,rose 4.3
percent after Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc. laid out a $29 billion bid
for UFJ.
SMFG said it would offer one of its shares for every common share of UFJ,
challenging a rival offer by Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group to form the
world's biggest bank.
SMFG shares were down 2.7 percent and MTFG was off 4.2 percent.
Softbank Corp. fell 1.1 percent. It is a major stake holder in Yahoo Japan
Corp., Japan's top Internet portal, which announced a 2-for-1 share split on
Tuesday. Shares in Yahoo Japan, meanwhile, were off 1.8 percent.
The Nikkei's failure to break above its 200-day moving average, a technical
resistance line that stood at around 11,050, suggested investors lacked
confidence to put fresh money into the market, analysts said.
Taiwan closed by storm
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was flat at 216.6
while its technology component was up 0.2 percent.
Tech shares, including a 0.5 percent rise in Samsung Electronics, helped push
South Korea's main index nearly 0.6 percent higher.
Hong Kong's index was up 0.6 percent as investors awaited an earnings report
from CNOOC, China's top offshore oil producer, which was expected to show
first-half net profit rose 14.3 percent, according to a Reuters survey.
The benchmark index in Singapore was down 0.2 percent and Australia's index
was off about 0.3 percent.
Taiwan's market were closed for a second day due to typhoon Aere.
U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, in a written statement to
lawmaker, said a pickup in groeth hads gained steam over the past year.
he said Japan, which went through a decade of stagnation before its economy
began to grow last year, seemed to "finally be on its way to a self-sustaining
recovery" but it faced risks.
"In particular, the recent run-up in oil prices, if sustained, may exert a
significant drag on Japanese economic activity," Greenspan said.
Japan is wholly dependent on imported oil.
U.S. markets
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 0.25 percent to 10,098.63 in extremely
light volume with little corporate or economic date scheduled in coming days.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index edged up 0.05 percent and the techonology-laced
Nasdaq Composite Index drooped 0.10 percent to 1,836.86.
The dollar was steady at 109.53 yen from 109.58 in late New York. Sterling
fetched $1.7925, near its three-month low of $1.7880 hit overnight. The euro
was at $1.2065 down fractionally from $1.2081 in late New York, where it had
fallen 0.4 percent on the day.
Ten-year JGB futures up 0.06 point at 137.05. The yield on the benchmark 10-
year cash JGB fell 1.5 basis point to 1.570 percent.
Yields on the benchmark 10-year and 20-year cash bonds have fallen around 30
basis points since the beginning of the month, triggered partly by the release
of disappointing Japanes gross domestic product figures for the second quarter
of 2004.
Gold held around $404.00 an ounce, up from $402.80 an ounce in late New York
after it had fallen about $6 an ounce, retreating further from a four-month
high last Friday.
