Mixed outing for Asian stocks
Markets lack a single unifying theme
Asian markets ended mixed today though the markets lacked a single unifying theme and instead looked to price in country specific dynamics.

With the latest gains, the Dow has come within close reach of 12,000 for the first time since mid-2008.
This pushed up the Japanese stocks right from the start and sentiments were buoyed further after the Japan's central bank decided to keep its benchmark lending rate unchanged at 0.0-0.1% as it continues its battle against deflation. The size of the asset purchase fund and the cheap credit program was also kept unchanged at 5 trillion yen and 30 trillion yen respectively. The Bank of Japan also cut its growth forecast for the year starting April 2011 to 1.6 percent from 1.8 percent. Meanwhile, the growth outlook for the current fiscal year was upgraded to 3.3 percent from 2.1 percent, citing revision of past GDP statistics. The benchmark Nikkei 225 Index gained 119.31 points, or 1.15%, to 10,464 by the close.
HUL, bank stocks lead decline as RBI hikes rates
The key benchmark indices dropped nearly 1% as investors fretted over the possibility of more interest rate hikes by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to tame inflation. The central bank raised its lending as well as borrowing rates by a quarter-point to cool inflationary pressures at a quarterly policy review today, 25 January 2011. Interest rate sensitive banking, auto and realty stocks declined. The BSE 30-share Sensex was down 181.83 points or 0.95%, off close to 380 points from the day's high and up close to 5 points from the day's low. Current growth and inflation trends warrant persistence with the anti-inflationary monetary stance, the RBI said.
