MARKET OVERVIEW---------------------------------------------------
It was a light-volume session in Asia today, with traders in Tokyo
returning from a long weekend to follow suit with Wall Street's
selling mood. Corporate heavyweights Sharp and Honda Motor were
among the notable laggards, thanks to disappointing quarterly
results. With most other regional bourses closed for holiday,
Japan's Nikkei ended the day down 1.8%.
Likewise, many traders in Europe have the day off. In Britain, oil
major BP turned lower post-earnings, but a well-received quarterly
report from Lloyds Banking Group provided a halo lift for financial
stocks. With markets in Germany and France closed, London's FTSE
100 was last seen up 0.4%.
The U.S. dollar index is rolling around breakeven this morning,
with the greenback last seen at $78.76. Crude oil is continuing to
pull back, with the front-month contract down 0.3% at $104.60 per
barrel. Gold futures are pointed south, as well, with gold for June
delivery 0.1% lower at $1,662.70 an ounce.
