Gloom returns to Asian markets after Dow's plunge

TOKYO  - Gloom returned to Asian markets Tuesday as investors dumped stocks following huge overnight losses on Wall Street and dismal economic data out of the US, a crucial export market.

Japan's Nikkei 225 stock average tumbled 533.53 points, or 6.4 percent, to 7,863.69, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index lost 5 percent to 13,401.73.

Global markets had rallied last week, but any nascent investor confidence quickly wilted after grim US economic data sent the Dow Jones industrial average plummeting nearly 700 points or 7.7 percent Monday, wiping out more than half of last week's big gains.

"A string of weak economic data really depressed sentiment," said Yutaka Miura, a senior strategist at Shinko Securities in Tokyo. "Investors are becoming more pessimistic over the state of the global economy."

Australia's central bank slashed its key interest rate Monday a full percentage point to 4.25 percent as it tries to prevent the economy from sliding into recession. But investors took scant comfort from the move, and the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index fell 4.2 percent at 3,528.2.

While markets in mainland China and Singapore edged up, key indices in the Philippines, Taiwan, India and South Korea dropped sharply.

"This was brought by the confirmation of recession in the US," said Emmanuel Soller, a trader at Equitiworld Securities Inc. in Manila.

US stocks first slid on initial reports that the first weekend of the holiday shopping season, while better than some retailers and analysts feared, saw only modest gains. Downbeat reports on the manufacturing sector and construction spending further unnerved investors.

Then the National Bureau of Economic Research, considered the arbiter of when the economy is in recession or expanding, said the US recession had begun a year ago, in December 2007. Dow futures were up 33 points, or 0.4 percent, to 8,172, while S&P 500 futures were up 2.3 points, or 0.3 percent, to 818.1.

The bleak outlook for the US economy drove oil prices fell below $48 a barrel in Asian electronic trading. Light, sweet crude for January delivery was down $1.53 to $47.75 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange by midafternoon in Singapore.
