World markets diffident ahead of US jobs data on worriers over Fed stimulus withdrawal
– canadianbusiness.com
MANILA, Philippines – World stock markets put in a patchy performance Wednesday, with Japan suffering a sharp fall, as investors continued to worry the U.S. Federal Reserve will soon start reducing its monetary stimulus.
Japan’s Nikkei 225 closed down 2.2 per cent to 15,407.94, pulling back from Tuesday’s rise and levels that were the index’s highest in about six months.
European benchmarks made modest gains and U.S. stock futures were up slightly, auguring possible gains on Wall Street.
Chris Weston, chief market strategist at IG in Melbourne, Australia said traders and economists are looking to employment figures Wednesday from payrolls company ADP for indications about the strength of hiring ahead of the official U.S. employment report due Friday.
Whether the Fed starts reducing its $85 billion of monthly bond purchases will likely hinge on Friday’s report. The Fed’s stimulus has shored up global stock markets over the past few years. So-called “tapering” of that stimulus could work the opposite way, even though it would be predicated on an improving U…

How will it end? Portugal seeks bailout closure after 3 years of austerity
– canadianbusiness.com
LISBON, Portugal – Portugal wants to look like Ireland, but it can’t disguise its resemblance to Greece.
Inspectors from Portugal’s bailout creditors arrive in Lisbon on Wednesday for a regular check of the country’s fiscal health and its compliance with the stipulations of the 78 billion euro ($106 billion) financial rescue it received in 2011.
As in Ireland and Greece, which got bailouts the year before Portugal, the agreement demanded steep spending cuts and an economic makeover — part of a continental effort to persuade wary investors to resume lending to some of the eurozone’s debt-heavy countries.
With about six months to go before Portugal’s rescue cash runs out, it’s still unclear whether the Portuguese will be able to make it on their own after June.
The government insists it can follow the same path as Ireland, which will unhook itself from foreign financial support this month. But hurdles remain that could compel Portugal to ask for more help, like Greece did when it got a second bailout, and prolong Europe’s debt woes…
