Sri Lanka rupee at more than 1-wk low in dull trade
The Sri Lankan rupee traded at its lowest level in more than a week on Thursday on importer dollar demand, but the market was sluggish as most investors were in a holiday mood, dealers said. The spot rupee was at 130.90/95 per dollar at 0550 GMT, its lowest point since Dec. 3, and weaker from Wednesday's close of 130.80/90. (reuters.com)
Dow falls 130 points
Stocks tumbled Wednesday as investors bet that a new U.S. budget deal raises chances the Federal Reserve might
start to scale back its support for the economy soon. The Dow Jones industrial average fell nearly 130 points. The
S&P 500 and the Nasdaq both lost more than 1%. Congressional negotiators reached a bipartisan budget
compromise late Tuesday that would prevent another government shutdown, if approved by the House and
Senate. The deal would set spending levels, reduce the deficit and relieve some of the arbitrary, forced spending
cuts. Some analysts say the deal could make the Fed more likely to announce it will begin trimming its $85-billion-a-
month bond purchases as early as next week. Fed chairman Ben Bernanke has said repeatedly that uncertainty
about fiscal policy is a threat to the economy. (money.cnn)
UK economy will surpass pre-recession peak in 2014
The UK economy will finally surpass its pre-recession peak next year, says the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC).
The UK's economic output peaked in the first quarter of 2008. The BCC says it expects the economy to surpass that
level in the second half of 2014. It also says that the UK's GDP is now set to grow by 2.7% in 2014, an upgrade from a
previous prediction of 2.2%. (bbc.co.uk)
Asian shares lower as focus moves to Fed
Asian markets eased Thursday, following a lead from Wall Street, as investors turn their focus to next week's
Federal Reserve policy meeting, with speculation growing that the bank will announce a cut to its stimulus
programme. And while a bipartisan budget deal in Washington fuelled hopes that another government shutdown
will be avoided next month, it is believed that it will give the Fed more room to wind down the bond-buying
scheme. Tokyo fell 1.47 percent, Hong Kong slipped 0.31 percent, Sydney lost 0.64 percent, Shanghai dipped 0.22
percent and Seoul was 0.75 percent lower. With few other catalysts to drive business, dealers are playing a wait-
and-see game ahead of the Fed's policy announcement next week, with opinion split on whether it will begin
reeling the stimulus in this month or early next year. The Fed's $85 billion a month scheme has been credited with
fuelling a global equities rally this year as it has supplied vast sums of cheap money to investors.
