Hong Kong Shares Headed for a 5% Gain This Week
Shares in Hong Kong are headed to gain nearly 5% for the week, although they were flat Friday, as investors await a slew of China data.
The Hang Seng Index was last up 0.1% at 21364.32. China is expected to release data on first quarter GDP growth, industrial output, retail sales and foreign direct investment later today.
" Given the massive pickup in China' s activity indicators in 2016, solid numbers today could provide further short-term upside to the commodity complex," says Angus Nicholson, market strategist at brokerage IG.
The Shanghai Composite Index is up 0.2% at 3086.68. Energy stocks in Hong Kong are lower, even as Brent crude oil prices are up 0.3% at $ 43.97 a barrel.
Oil inches up after mixed IEA report ahead of Doha meeting
APR 15, 2016 9:47 AM
[NEW YORK] Oil prices rose slightly on Thursday in choppy trade as the market processed a mixed report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) and skepticism that an upcoming meeting of major producers would do much to tighten the supply demand balance.
Brent crude futures were up 17 US cents at US $ 44.35 a barrel by 12:20 pm EST (1620 GMT). US crude rose 15 US cents to US $ 41.91.
Activity in the market has been muted with no clear players, traders said, due to the uncertainty ahead of a keenly anticipated producers' meeting on Sunday in Doha, Qatar, of the world' s biggest oil exporters, including Saudi Arabia and Russia.
They are set to finalize a deal reached in February to freeze oil output at January levels, aiming to bolster oil prices.

Dow closes at highest since July financials post 5-day win streak
U.S. stocks closed narrowly mixed Thursday, with financials rising for a fifth straight day after some major bank earnings.
The Dow Jones industrial average and S & P 500 squeezed out gains, with the Dow ending at its highest since July 20, 2015, and the S & P at its highest since Dec. 4. (Tweet This)
There' s " some uncertainty surrounding Sunday' s meeting in Doha. You have expiration tomorrow. That' s keeping things quiet ahead of the weekend. The trend (in stocks) is unambiguously higher," said Jeremy Klein, chief market strategist at FBN Securities.
The financials sector closed up 0.27 percent for its first five-day win streak since July. The sector is up 4.25 percent for the week so far as the top S & P performer, but still the worst year-to-date.
" Really the interesting thing to be taken from the financials so far is the consumer is doing OK and I think that' s why the market is doing so well and hanging in there today," said JJ Kinahan, chief strategist at TD Ameritrade.
Ahead of Sunday' s highly anticipated meeting of producers in Doha, Qatar, the International Energy Agency (IEA) trimmed its forecast for demand growth but said a fall in U.S. oil output was accelerating.

Singapore shares close marginally weak despite STI rising for 3rd day
APR 14, 2016 5:28 PM
THE Straits Times Index on Thursday managed to advance further into the black for 2016 when it rose 23.52 points to 2,913.93, thus bringing its gain for the year to date to 32 points or 1.1 per cent.
Some observers attributed the rise to the Monetary Authority of Singapore' s (MAS' s) surprise decision to allow a gradual depreciation of the Sing dollar against its basket of currencies.
For example, Rabobank in its daily notes said of the rise in Asian stocks that market sentiment in Asian markets got a boost from Singapore' s central bank trying to restart the economy by returning to a policy of zero per cent exchange rate appreciation.
" This is raising speculation that other central banks in the region may follow this path as well," said the bank.
Whatever the case, it was the third consecutive day that the index rose, bringing its three-day gain to 105 points. The largest rise came on Wednesday after the release of better-than-expected China export figures that also helped push Wall Street higher that day on Thursday, however, the Dow futures traded about 50 points in the red, capping gains here.

China: Stocks reach 3-month high ahead of Q1 GDP growth report
APR 14, 20163: 30 PM
[SHANGHAI] China stocks advanced to fresh three-month highs on Thursday, with investors pricing in some upside surprise in China' s first-quarter growth figure to be released on Friday.
Data released on Wednesday showed China' s exports in March returned to growth for the first time in nine months, providing an encouraging sign ahead of the release on gross domestic product (GDP).
The blue-chip CSI300 index rose 0.4 per cent, to 3,275.83 points while the Shanghai Composite Index gained 0.5 per cent, to 3,082.36 points.
Reflecting improving risk appetite, an index tracking mainland investors' confidence in the stock market rose to 54.7 in March, up 12.1 per cent from a month earlier, and exceeding 50 for the first time since December. The index is done by the government-backed china Securities Investment Protection Fund.
A reading above 50 indicates optimism, while figures below 50 signal pessimism.
Asia: Markets follow Wall St to extend rally
APR 14, 2016 11: 11 AM
[HONG KONG] Asian stock markets rallied for a second straight session Thursday, tracking gains in New York where traders cheered surprisingly upbeat earnings from Wall Street titan JPMorgan Chase.
The renewed confidence saw investors shift out of the safe investment yen, which in turn helped Japan' s Nikkei chalk up another strong performance.
Analysts said a shock decision by Singapore to loosen monetary policy had also provided a lift to sentiment and sent the island state' s currency tumbling.
After Wednesday' s rally fuelled by rising oil prices and strong Chinese trade data, regional investors returned to trading floors to news that JP Morgan had posted forecast-beating first-quarter earnings.
The banking giant also said the US economy, the world' s biggest, was on a solid footing and dismissed the prospects it would go into recession this year. The news provided strong support for the financial sector, with all three main New York indexes ending more than one per cent higher.
" The fact that investor appetite for the heavily weighted banking sector looks to be returning could help see an even stronger day," Angus Nicholson, a markets analyst in Melbourne at IG Ltd., told clients.
In early trade Hong Kong was up 0.8 per cent, Shanghai added 0.4 per cent, Sydney climbed 0.7 per cent and Seoul shot up more than 1.1 per cent.
But Tokyo led the gains, with the Nikkei up 2.5 per cent by the break. Japanese exporters were the big beneficiaries of another drop in the yen against the dollar.
Singapore' s dollar sank 0.8 per cent - the most in five months - after the Monetary Authority of Singapore eased monetary policy as it looks to shore up the economy.
Nader Naeimi, head of dynamic markets at AMP Capital Investors said the move has given traders some hope that central banks will continue to unveil measures to kickstart growth.
