In Asia, Japan’s benchmark index advanced 0.7% amid low volumes as insurers and carmakers led gains while the yen weakened against the dollar for a sixth day. Major exporters benefitted from weaker yen, closing sharply higher. Shares of Toyota ended 2.8% higher, Nissan added 2.6%, while Honda was up by 2.8%. Gains were however, capped after data released showed no change in inflation. China’s benchmark added 0.6% as consumer-staples producers rallied on improving earnings prospects, while property developers halted a three-day slide. GCC Most of the Gulf markets ended in red on Sunday. Saudi Arabia’s index fell 1.5%, following an 8.2% plunge in Saudi Cement, after the stock went exdividend. Saudi Telecom sank 3.5% as telecommunications shares continued to slide, after a GCC official said on Thursday that the six-nation bloc would cut roaming charges for making and receiving calls and sending text messages by an average 40% from April 1. Dubai’s index retreated 1.2%. The index’s heavily traded stock, Dubai Parks & Resorts fell 5.1% after proposing to boost its capital by AED 1.68bn through a rights issue. Abu Dhabi's index fell 0.8% as telecommunications firm Etisalat, also hit by the cut in regional roaming charges, dropped 1.1%. Qatar QE index ended 0.6% lower, majorly due to increased net selling by domestic institutions and lower buying support from their foreign counterparts. Insurances stocks (-0.9%) were a major drag on the broad based index. Some shares however, bucked the trend. Mesaieed Petrochemical, the most heavily traded share, surged 9.5%, while Gulf Warehousing added a further 6%, continued to be buoyed by the increase in its foreign ownership limit last week. Al Khalij Commercial Bank rose 1.8% after the depository raised its foreign ownership ceiling to 49% on Sunday.

The US dollar recorded a modest gain on Thursday, its fifth consecutive day of gains, though weak US economic data pulled it down a bit in late trading. The hawkish comments by the US Fed officials bolstered the USD last week. The USD turned flat in the afternoon trade after data showed a fall in US durable goods orders coupled with a slight increase in the number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits. The USD rose about 0.4% against the JPY, posting its largest one-day percentage gain in about two weeks. The EUR too weakened against the USD and was trading about 0.1% towards the end. However, the GBP ended its losing spree against the USD, first time in the week, as it benefitted from better than expected UK retail sales numbers. The dollar index was last trading at 96.133.
