18/11/2005 07:45 | Asian Stocks Climb on U.S. Economy, Oil; Toyota Rises to Record Nov. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Asian stocks climbed to a 5 1/2-year high as U.S. manufacturing rebounded, oil prices fell and reports showed accelerating economic growth in Taiwan. Toyota Motor Corp. had its biggest gain in 18 months. ``The U.S. economy looks solid overall and the recent decline in oil prices has eased one of the primary concerns in the market,'' said Atsushi Osa, who helps oversee $4.1 billion at Sumitomo Mitsui Asset Management Co. in Tokyo. ``It's best not to resist this bullish momentum and ride the wave.'' The Morgan Stanley Capital International Asia-Pacific Index climbed 1 percent to 114.48 at 4:20 p.m. in Tokyo. The index is set for its highest close since July 2000 and a fourth straight weekly gain. Key indexes around the region rose. Japan's Nikkei 225 Stock Average added 1.5 percent to 14,623.12, a five-year high, while the broader Topix index advanced 1.4 percent to its highest since August 2000. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index advanced 0.9 percent and the Nasdaq Composite Index climbed to the highest since June 2001 after a Federal Reserve report showed industrial production expanded 0.9 percent in October, the most since May 2004. Toyota, which gets about a third of its sales in North America, climbed 4.4 percent to 5,890 yen, the highest close since listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 1949. Today's advance meant Toyota overtook American International Group Inc. as the world's 11th biggest company by market value, lagging behind HSBC Holdings Plc at No. 10. Lifting Stocks Fanuc Ltd., the world's largest maker of industrial robots, climbed 2 percent to 9,760 yen. The Japanese company generates more than two-thirds of its revenue overseas. Oil slid 2.7 percent to $56.34 a barrel in New York, the lowest close since June 15 and the biggest one-day decline in three weeks. Futures were recently at $56.36 in after-hours trade, 20 percent below the $70.85 record high reached Aug. 30. ``Oil prices are declining so people will be more comfortable with spending on other things like cars and electronics,'' said Bich Pham, who helps manage more than $600 million at TAL Global Asset Management Ltd. in Hong Kong. ``That should be good for economies and give stocks a lift.'' Taiwan and Singapore yesterday raised their 2005 growth forecasts after both economies expanded at the fastest pace in a year on increased electronics sales. Taiwan's economy grew 4.4 percent in the third quarter from a year earlier, and the statistics bureau lifted its 2005 forecast to 3.8 percent from 3.65 percent. Singapore's gross domestic product rose 7 percent after expanding 5.4 percent in the previous quarter, prompting the trade ministry to raise its annual forecast to about 5 percent, from 4.5 percent. Beneficiaries Technology shares including Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. were also boosted by a report saying North American companies that sell equipment used to make semiconductors got $1.1 billion orders in October, a 12 percent increase from the month before. A measure of technology shares has climbed for 14 of the past 15 sessions, rising 12 percent over the period. Taiwan Semiconductor, the world's largest supplier of made- to-order computer chips, jumped 1.8 percent to NT$57.10. Tokyo Electron Ltd., the world's second-largest supplier of chipmaking equipment, added 1.7 percent to 6,710 yen. ``Technology companies are the key beneficiaries in a booming economy,'' said Tom Fu, who manages $63 million in assets at PCA Securities Investment Trust Co. in Taipei. ``Investors should get in ahead of the year-end holiday shopping season. Demand will continue to rise next year.'' Mitsubishi UFJ Japanese banks advanced on expectations an economic recovery is helping to boost earnings at the nation's biggest lenders, which will report next week. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc., the world's largest bank by assets, led gains after saying in a preliminary earnings report that second-quarter profit at its biggest unit more than doubled as revenue rose and credit costs fell. The bank's shares gained 2.6 percent to 1.59 million yen. Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc., the nation's third- largest lender, added 1.7 percent to 1.18 million yen. For banks, ``expectations for an improvement in earnings is helping boost their shares,'' said Yutaka Miura, an equities manager at Shinko Securities Co. in Tokyo. Japan's stock indexes have surged in the second half of this year as some investors bet the nation's seven-year bout of deflation is ending. Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi is credited with reviving Japan's banks and property market following the economic stagnation caused by the bursting of the 1980's ``bubble economy.'' Significant ``This is significant and we are entering a new phase from here,'' said Shigeharu Shiraishi, who helps oversee about $14 billion in assets as a managing director at Societe Generale Asset Management (Japan) Co. in Tokyo. ``People are finally realizing Japan's deflationary problem will end soon.'' China's Shanghai Composite Index, which covers yuan- denominated A shares and foreign-currency B shares, rose 2 percent, its biggest advance in almost two months. China Petroleum & Chemical Corp. and China Southern Airlines Co. paced gains. Temasek Holdings Pte, a Singapore state-owned investment company, and AIG Global Investment Corp. won approval to buy yuan-denominated securities products, the China Securities Regulatory Commission said today. That has brought up to 30 the number of investors allowed to buy Chinese A shares. China Petroleum & Chemical, Asia's biggest oil refiner, also known as Sinopec, added 0.5 percent to 4.25 yuan. China Southern Airlines, the nation's biggest carrier by fleet size, advanced 5.3 percent to 2.77 yuan.

18/11/2005 07:45 | ooops - I'm blaming the laptop for the repeat posts ;) ben - What do you want to see ? ... bearing in mind that a lot of graphs can be found on the 'The Japan Thread' (link is in the header). Also IJPN has not been going that long hence only a few in the scroll bar charts section. Btw, when I view this thread with my imac I can't actually see the AFN charts in the header because of the scroll bar yet when I visit other threads that don't have one the charts are visible. When I view this thread with my PC or laptop then I can see everything ;) You using an imac ? | m4m | |
18/11/2005 07:42 | Lot's more to come for the Nikkei as it hits over 5 yr high Toyota, Listed in 1949, Rises to Record, Dwarfing GM (Update3) Nov. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Shares of Toyota Motor Corp. rose to a record on optimism U.S. sales will grow, giving the company a market value more than 14 times the size of General Motors Corp., the world's biggest producer of vehicles. Toyota shares, first traded in 1949, rose 4.4 percent to 5,890 yen at the close of trading in Tokyo. Toyota led the Nikkei 225 Stock Average to a five-year high as falling oil prices and a rebound in U.S. factory production improved the outlook for the world's largest economy. Toyota is forecasting its 12th consecutive sales record in the U.S. this year and the company's fourth consecutive year of record profit. That contrasts with GM, which has been losing market share, prompting GM Chief Executive Rick Wagoner to reassure employees the Detroit-based carmaker has no plans to file for bankruptcy protection. ``Investors like Toyota due to its long-term strength,'' said Masayuki Kubota, who manages the equivalent of $8.5 billion of Japanese equities at Daiwa SB Investments Ltd., based in Tokyo. ``The automaker is preparing for future growth.'' Toyota, the world's largest automaker by market value, has said it plans to take 15 percent of the global auto market in the next decade, rising from about 12 percent now. Bigger than Thailand Based on today's market capitalization of $178.6 billion, Toyota has surpassed American International Group Inc. to become the world's 11th largest company. That compares with GM's market value of $12 billion. Toyota's market value is bigger than Thailand's annual gross domestic product of $164 billion, according to Bloomberg data. The Toyota City, Japan-based company is adding or expanding factories in North America, Europe and Asia. Toyota plans to open a factory for Tundra pickups in San Antonio next year and a plant for the RAV4 sport-utility vehicle in Woodstock, Ontario, in 2008. The automaker is also considering using Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd.'s Subaru assembly plant in Lafayette, Indiana and is studying ways to increase production at a pickup truck plant in Mexico. GM shares dropped to their lowest level since 1987 yesterday, before recovering. Last week, GM said it would have to restate 2001 earnings because of accounting errors. A week before that, the company said its U.S. auto sales fell 26 percent in October. On Oct. 17, GM reported a $1.6 billion fourth-quarter loss, extending its longest streak without a profit since 1992. Closing the Gap Toyota's market share in the U.S. in October rose 2.3 percentage points to 15.1 percent, while GM's share fell 3.5 points to 22.1 percent, according to Autodata Corp. Standard & Poor's hasn't changed its long-term foreign and local credit ratings for Toyota from AAA since Sept. 30, 1985, while GM's rating was cut to BB- last moth by the agency. Toyota, which overtook Ford as the world's second-largest carmaker by sales in 2003, is closing the gap with GM, which sells more vehicles than any other carmaker. Toyota on Nov. 4 raised its global sales forecast to 8.03 million units for the year ending in March 2006, up 8.4 percent from a year earlier. Five years ago, GM sold 8.6 million cars and trucks around the world, compared with Toyota's 5.8 million. Last year, GM sold 8.99 million. Record Profit Profit at Toyota will rise to a record this fiscal year from last year's 1.17 trillion yen, Senior Managing Director Takeshi Suzuki said on Nov. 4. He didn't give a specific forecast. Toyota's market value is worth about as much as the next seven non-Japanese automakers combined, including DaimlerChrysler AG, Bayerische Motoren Werke AG and Renault SA. The 14-day relative strength measure for Toyota's shares, a moving average based on whether the index rose or fell, was at 79, the highest in more than five years. A reading above 70 signals the index is poised to fall. The shares have risen 41 percent so far this year. Toyota gets about 60 percent of its operating profit from the U.S., according to Credit Suisse First Boston in Tokyo. The yen has fallen 4.5 percent against the dollar in the current fiscal third quarter. A weaker yen boosts repatriated earnings for Toyota and rivals Nissan Motor Co. and Honda Motor Co. A Federal Reserve report showed U.S. industrial production rose last month, which may spur demand. ``The weaker yen will aid the carmakers' earnings in the year in addition to their cost cutting efforts,'' said Yoshihiro Okumura, a general manager at Chiba-gin Asset Management Co., which manages the equivalent of $365 million in assets, expectation of bigger-than-expected growth next fiscal year.'' Nissan, Japan's second-largest automaker, gained 2.5 percent to 1,240 yen, while shares of Honda, the No. 3 automaker in the country, rose 1.7 percent to 6,650 yen. The Nikkei added 211.33, or 1.5 percent to 14,623.12 at the 3 p.m. close in Tokyo. The Nikkei rose to the highest since December 2000. ``Toyota is leading the gains as the company has a steady and diversified production and sales strategy,'' said Koji Endo, an analyst at Credit Suisse First Boston in Tokyo, who rates Toyota ``outperform.''

17/11/2005 19:02 | Interesting, can you add more graphs at the top please? | ![]() ben gunn | |
17/11/2005 08:37 | Looks like 700 is now gonna be support ? My trailing stop loss is now raised to 666 based on 50 day ma close of 697.50 | m4m | |
14/11/2005 12:34 | Mitsubishi Motors caused Nikkei to come off but they shouldn't affect IJPN as much ? | m4m | |
14/11/2005 11:07 | Thanks for replies. | ![]() ptolemy | |
10/11/2005 12:55 | Ptolemy I can happily confirm that I was NOT charged any stamp duty with my E-Trade purchase of IJPN At 697 close Today a Black Opening Marubozu was formed. This shows that the day opened and prices continuously went down but they did not close at the low of the day and thus they created a lower shadow. The last three candlesticks formed a Bearish Evening Star Pattern . This is a bearish reversal pattern that marks a potential change in trend. Though it is highly reliable confirmation is still recommended. | m4m | |
10/11/2005 11:04 | Help please. Do you pay .5% stamp duty on purchasing ishares? I think the answe is yes, but would like confirmation. | ![]() ptolemy | |
07/11/2005 15:39 | Here you go | ![]() knowing | |

19/10/2005 16:44 | October the nervous month; I'll add at 600 if I get the opportunity | m4m | |
07/10/2005 10:54 | So is that the profit taking out the way ? Nikkei Futures are well up or is it just shorts closing ? Today a High Wave was formed. This implies a loss of sense of direction and that there is a great amount of indecision in the market. The last candlestick formed a Bullish Hammer Pattern . This is a bullish reversal pattern that marks a potential change in trend. However, its reliability is low and it definitely requires confirmation BULLISH HAMMER | m4m |
