Asian share markets crept higher on Thursday as dovish comments from the head of the U.S. Federal Reserve lifted Wall Street while weighing on the dollar, with trade light heading into the Easter holidays. Disappointing results from Google and IBM had also knocked their shares lower after the bell and put a crimp on technology stocks in the region. The tech and telecoms sectors in Japan's Nikkei duly lost ground, leaving it to end flat for the session

In China, a purchasing managers’ index from HSBC Holdings Plc and Markit Economics gave a reading of 48.3 for April, matching the median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. A reading below 50 means activity contracted. Markit releases its preliminary survey of U.S. manufacturing in April at 9:45 a.m. New York time. The PMI will rise to 56 from 55.5 in March, according to economists.

A composite index based on a survey of purchasing managers in the euro-area manufacturing and services industries rose to 54 from 53.1 in March, London-based Markit Economics said today. That exceeded the median estimate of 53.0 in a Bloomberg News survey of economists and was the highest in almost three years. A reading above 50 indicates expansion.

Russia disregards last week’s Geneva agreement, pro-Russian separatists accused of torturing and killing two people and shooting at a military plane yesterday, US troops headed for manoeuvres in Eastern Europe and Kremlin not responding to developments, only complaining that Western military moves only serve to raise tension in the region and that Russian interests will be protected.  On paper, this doesn't look too good. 

Isn't it creepy how Russia, North-Korea and US are all busy with ‘military exercises’ in close proximity to each other? Maybe ‘exercise’ has the same meaning as ‘strategic move’, who knows. Too much testosterone all over, too little sanity prevailing I think.

Dow ended -0.07%, Nas -0.83%, S&P -0.24%.

Europe ended FTSE -0.10%, DAX -0.58%, CAC -0.74%, MIB -1.18%, IBEX -0.13%, Stoxx600 -0.60%.

In Asia this morning 7:09am our time 13:09 Hong Kong, markets more or less flat except Nikkei.

Nikkei  -0.8%
Hang Seng Index +0.1%
Shanghai -0.2%
Sydney +0.2%
Kospi -0.2%
Taiex -0.3%

Eco Calendar:
10:00 GER Ifo Business Climate index
11:30 SA PPI, pev 1.30%, exp 0.90%
14:00 EUR ECB Draghi
14:30 Core Durable Goods Orders & Jobless info

Yesterday in the US, sales of new homes slumped 14.5% to 384 00, weakest since July 2013, 16.7% decline in the West, lowest since January 2012.

Moon’s F&G @ 39 ‘Fear’, VIX @13.27 +0.61%.

T40 @ +0.37% (8:06)

New highs for Sabvest, Capitec, Pick ’n Pay, Steinhoff, PSG, Bidvests & new low AQP -5.81% @ 396.

Shares in tech heavyweights Apple and Facebook held hefty after-hours gains on Thursday as their results handily outpaced Wall Street expectations, though Asian markets managed only a mumbled cheer. The Nikkei slipped 0.97 percent with some investors apparently disappointed that a meeting between Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and U.S. President Barack Obama made no concrete progress on a trade

Maybe this isn't the right place to ask, but does anyone know what p/e the JSE is currently trading at overall?
