| March 12, 2007 | | Japanese stock market looks promising for CFDs and spread bets | Spread betting and contracts for differences on Japanese stocks might consider favouring the Nikkei stock index. The Nikkei 225 stock index is up today on good Japanese economic data, even though the yen continues to struggle on the forex market due to interest rate yield gaps. MarketWatch reports on the Nikkei stock index, as well as the broader Topix index:
Tokyo's 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average ended up 0.8% at 17,292.39 while the broad-market Topix index gained 0.6% to end at 1,741.36.
"We've got the region being a bit more positive after some reasonably
good numbers out of Japan," said Andrew Sullivan, head of sales trading
at Daiwa Securities SMBC. | | |
