Markets in Asia gained Friday, extending an advance that started a day earlier when Europe announced its latest plan to contain its sovereign-debt crisis.
Speaking about Friday's market advance, Jefferies strategist Naomi Fink said: "I think it's the risk-on trade coming back, [although] I also think there's still some outstanding skepticism that this will be the last we hear of the euro-zone fiscal crisis." (WSJ)
Market SentimentLocal sentiment opened in strong mood but fast to lose strength due to profit taking. The Intra-day Oscillator slid to end at +552.35; lost 2,470.42 when compares with its opening point. The Average recorded a gain of 1,080.71 due to strong opening.
At the end of the day, %K (Yellow) of MSCD computed as +504.60 (+104.70), %D (Red) +288.70 (+63.38) and the Histogram +150.23 (+16.42).
Both indicators moved higher and the Histogram printed another longer bar in the positive zone.
Conclusion
Market sentiment motivated by Dow Jones overnight 3% gain continued to rally, today. But profit taking trimmed the gain as market has been up for a week. However, selling was well absorbed as volume remained the same as yesterday.
In MSCD, %K fails to exceed its previous high even after two day’s strong rally. This shows that buying strength has been offset by selling due to some hesitation. Market sentiment will progress in cautious mood while waiting for clearer announcement from Europe.
