The major Asia-Pacific equity markets were positive earlier today. The Hang Seng of Hong Kong gained +363 points (+1.53 pct) to 24123, while Tokyo's Nikkei 225 added +122 points (+0.90 pct) to 13757.91. The Shanghai Composite was strongest, gaining +2.10 pct to 4664.29.

European markets thrashed about early in the session after the second largest Swiss bank Credit Suisse (CS) cut the value of its assets by $2.9 billion.

(WSJ) Credit Suisse Group said it has cut the value of certain asset-backed securities by $2.85 billion, blaming some of the hit on "mis-markings and pricing errors" by a number of its traders. The Swiss bank, until now perceived as relatively unscathed by the global credit crisis, said it is reviewing whether the move will affect its 2007 financial results, announced a week earlier. "In the first quarter to date, we estimate we remain profitable after giving effect to these reductions," the bank said.

UK-based financial services provider Barclays Plc (BCS) reported a lower profit in its fiscal year 2007, reflecting a -91 decline in profit on disposals, and losses due to US sub-prime credit market issues. Barclay’s earnings before these business disposals had increased. The Company said its Board decided on a +10-pct increase in its final dividend.

At 7:00am ET, the FTSE and DAX were up by almost +0.20 pct, while the French CAC was flat. By 7:38am ET, these indexes were up +0.9 pct for the FTSE and DAX and +0.7 pct for the CAC.

There may be a strong start to the Family Day shortened week for Canadian stocks today. The new Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney confirmed that the central bank would likely cut interest rates at its March 4 meeting. He ruled out an emergency rate cut, but indicated that the BOC might be more aggressive than the modest quarter-point cuts made in December and January.

Early this morning, the commodity futures and spot markets are booming.

March Crude Oil is up to 97.20 from 95.50 at the end of last week. The March Euro is now at 1.4738, up from 1.4657.

Spot prices for gold, silver, platinum and palladium are up +0.89 pct, +0.52 pct, +1.37 pct and +1.28 pct respectively.

Comments & Outlook

My associate in China, the Shanghai Fly, says, “6.6-pct PPI reported on Monday, a 3-year high, and 6.1-pct CPI reported today, which is an 11-year high… Markets up on both days, it appears there is strength in the Chinese markets. Unless Western equities crash, Chinese markets seem to be showing an upward bias.”

Inflation in China will have dire consequences for America, which will import that price inflation.
