Asian shares reclaim some of their losses



Asian shares have reclaimed some of the losses seen in the previous session after analysts felt that earlier declines were excessive after Japanese exporters pared losses as the Yen fell. There was also a fear developing that the Federal Reserve would prematurely end there ultra-soft monetary policy with risk assets falling to their 2013 lows. However, weak data out of Europe & the U.S. quickly saw that view reconsidered.

The European commission is expected to announce that several euro zone countries are likely to miss deficit cutting targets because of a weak economy. Rather than enforcing disciplinary action, the European commission is expected to grant extra leeway. Trust in the euro has been bolstered by European Central Bank pledges to do what it takes to defend its common currency but hopes the bloc might soon emerge from recession have been dashed by recent poor data.

According to senior Bank of England policy maker David Miles, there is a good case for restarting quantitative easing and may need to buy up to 175 billion pounds more of government bonds if growth is far below potential. In recent months persistent inflation and doubts about bond buying's effectiveness at boosting growth had put further bond purchases in question.
