Modicum of gains for select Asian markets
Weak US economic data continues to keep buying under check
Asian markets were mixed with a modicum of gains emerging in select indices as weak US economic data and lackluster overnight cues kept the movement sluggish. The major indices had opened the week on a bleak note yesterday and failed to generate much of a buying interest as investors waited for some clarity. DOW futures did shoot up in the late Asian trades, following dollar's slide to 1.2900 but by that time it was too late for the regional indices to make way for any synchronized rush upwards. Wall Street indices closed flat on poor housing and manufacturing data though bargain hunting made the stocks end the four-day losing streak.
