Asian stocks lower amid wait for central bank decisions
– canadianbusiness.com
TOKYO – Asian stocks fell across the board Monday ahead of policy decisions by the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan as well as major earnings reports and economic data from Japan and China expected later in the week.
KEEPING SCORE: Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 dipped 0.8 per cent to 17,439.62 in morning trading. South Korea’s Kospi inched down 0.2 per cent to 2,012.52. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng fell 0.5 per cent to 21,362.76, while the Shanghai Composite dropped 1.3 per cent to 2,921.16. Trading was closed in Australia for ANZAC Day, a public holiday.
CENTRAL BANKS: Central bank policy meetings in Japan and the U.S. are the focus of investors’ attention. It is unclear whether additional monetary easing is in store, but the meetings may provide indicators for what can be expected on interest rates in the future. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand, RBNZ, is also holding a policy meeting this week.
THE QUOTE: “While most of the focus will centre on possible policy action from the BOJ, traders will be looking for forward guidance from both the Fed and RBNZ…

Enough with the earnings: SEC may reduce company reports
– canadianbusiness.com
NEW YORK, N.Y. – Four times a year there’s a kind of parade on Wall Street: companies announce their quarterly earnings, all in a row, with the banks first, then the tech companies, and the retailers bringing up the rear. Stocks can rise or plunge based on the results. And three months later it all happens again.
But regulators are wondering if it’s time for a change.
For about 40 years, companies have had to make four yearly reports of basic financial information, including how much money they earned or lost, how much revenue they took in and what their expenses were. It’s supposed to help investors make informed decisions. But the Securities and Exchange Commission said Wednesday that it may change those rules. It noted there are drawbacks to the requirements, like the time and money companies have to spend to prepare the reports, and the possibility that important information gets lost in the flood of stuff companies have to disclose.
The SEC didn’t propose any specific new rules or commit to making changes…
