Stocks Climb Farther As Fears of Economic Slowdown Subside
U.S. stocks climbed Friday, notching their fourth consecutive week of gains, as the fears of an economic slowdown that gripped markets in December have subsided in the new year. Data showing a healthy labor market, as well as signals from central bankers that the Federal Reserve will be flexible with monetary policy, have offered relief to investors who were spooked late last year that the Fed’s pace of interest-rate increases could jolt an economy on shaky footing. “Investor sentiment has really improved from the turmoil just before Christmas,” said Brian Jacobsen, multisector strategist at Wells Fargo Asset Management.

Stocks Jump on Trade Hopes
U.S. stocks flipped between small gains and losses Thursday after two sessions of advances as investors parsed a raft of earnings reports and trade developments. Trade and other political uncertainties have helped depress investor sentiment in recent months, given the potential implications for economic growth and corporate supply chains. Among decliners, shares of Morgan Stanley fell 4.5% after the bank’s fourth-quarter profit missed expectations. The company’s lows of the day had put the stock on pace for its largest percentage loss since June 2016.

Renault executives, French government officials to meet Nissan CEO: Nikkei
TOKYO/PARIS (Reuters) - Renault executives and French government officials were planning to meet Nissan CEO Hiroto Saikawa in Japan on Thursday, Japanese media said, as the automakers consider their partnership in the wake of alliance Chairman Carlos Ghosn's arrest. Ghosn, arrested and detained in Tokyo since Nov. 19, has been indicted in Japan on charges of under-reporting his salary for eight years through March 2018, and temporarily transferring personal investment losses to Nissan Motor during the global financial crisis. Nissan ousted him as chairman following his arrest, with Mitsubishi Motor - the third member of the automaking alliance - soon following suit.

Japan's Nikkei dips on investor caution, Topix buoyed by BOJ talk
Japan's Nikkei dipped on Thursday, reversing earlier gains, as investors remained wary about the outlook for riskier assets amid lingering worries about the global economy and trade war tensions. The Nikkei has recovered roughly 8 percent from an eight-month low at the end of December, when massive risk aversion in global markets took a toll. "The Nikkei is now back in the premises of the 20,500 threshold, and this appears to have invited selling from participants looking to cut some of their losses suffered during the slide in December," said Takashi Hiroki, chief strategist at Monex Securities.

JGBs supported after BOJ purchase, soggy Nikkei
Japanese government bond prices were steady to firmer on Thursday, underpinned by decent results of the Bank of Japan's purchase of five- to 10-year bonds and as Japanese shares ran out of steam after rallies in recent weeks. The BOJ's buying of 430 billion yen ($3.95 billion) JGBs with five to 10 years to maturity drew limited offers from markets players, supporting market sentiment. The Nikkei average dipped slightly, hit by speculation that the BOJ may reduce its buying in funds linked to the Nikkei and allocate more money to funds linked to the broader Topix index .
