Asian shares enjoyed a reprieve on Thursday as diplomatic efforts moderated the crisis over Ukraine, while the euro came under pressure as investors speculate whether the European Central Bank will ease policy later in the day. Any steps the ECB takes to support the still-fragile euro zone economy could benefit some assets, though gains could be limited ahead of pivotal U.S. payrolls data on Friday

S&P ends with 50th record-close in past 12 months as do SA indices with Top-40 +0.66% @ 43 236 , its highest closing level on record and Alsi +0.64% @ 47 819, same story.

Exxaro + 2.76% yesterday after higher full-year profit & dividend up +10% - not due to Eskom and coal disaster, but it helped sentiment I suppose. 

Aspen +0.8% after reported +23% half-year profit. 

By the way, no rolling blackouts for today but Eskom reserved the right to change that statement during the day.  Man, yesterday 4-hours without power, previous week 5 days.  Makes me think of camping, which I hate by the way.  O:-)  TMI, I know.

Asia mostly green now, closing in 16 min. (Tokyo)

U.S. hiring likely picked up enough in February to keep the Federal Reserve on track in reducing its monetary stimulus. But the size of the gain is nevertheless expected to be modest as the economy struggles to break free of the grip of unusually severe winter weather. Nonfarm payrolls probably increased by 149,000 last month

U.S. stocks dipped on Monday, weighed down by soft data out of China and Boeing's latest production setback. Merger and acquisition announcements, however, as well as company-specific news including on Facebook and Alexion Pharma, helped keep the S&P 500 and Nasdaq from bigger losses. China's exports unexpectedly tumbled 18.1 percent in February, against expectations for a 6.8 percent rise, swinging

Asian stocks fell on Wednesday as economic uncertainty in China and the United States combined with political tensions in Ukraine to keep investors cautious and commodities under a dark cloud. Copper grabbed the headlines as Shanghai futures fell almost 4 percent to their lowest since 2009 amid concerns about the potential unraveling of loan deals in China where the industrial metal has been used as collateral

Ag nee, goeie genade.

Euro-area industrial production unexpectedly declined in January as energy output dropped, underscoring the fragility of the currency bloc’s recovery from a record-long recession.

Factory output in the 18-nation euro zone slipped 0.2 percent from December, the European Union’s statistics office in Luxembourg said today. The median forecast in Bloomberg News survey of 39 economists was for a 0.5 percent increase. From a year earlier, production rose 2.1 percent.

Asian shares cautiously rebounded from two-week lows on Thursday though investors were in no mood to embrace risk ahead of a batch of Chinese data that may offer clues about the extent of its economic slowdown. A standoff in Ukraine, signs of weakness and other risks in China's economy and a massive fall in copper prices are spooking investors, though a flat close on Wall Street and some positive regional data helped to underpin some markets
