Japan tips into recession

Fears deepen after lacklustre G20

AFP, Tokyo
Japan became the latest major country to fall into recession Monday as global economic fears deepened after a Washington summit offered markets scant hope for action to contain the damage, analysts said.
Markets showed Little initial enthusiasm for a vague pledge on Saturday from Group of 20 leaders to join forces to galvanise growth and overhaul the world's financial architecture.
The G20, grouping developed and developing countries, stopped short of announcing specific steps such as coordinated stimulus spending.
"In the midst of an emergency crisis, to have a statement that reads We will cooperate with each another' is all but meaningless," said Daisuke Uno, chief strategist at
Sumitomo Mitsui BankingCorp.
"Market sentiment has soured and with all eyes back on the theme of global recession, " he said.
Major European stock exchanges fell at the opening of trade, following a mixed performance in Asia, but later pared their losses. The yen strengthened as risk-averse investors, despite news of a Japanese recession, sought shelter in what they saw as a safe currency.
In London the FTSE 100 index was down 0.11 percent at mid-morning while Paris had edged up 0.34 percent and Frankfurt 0.18 percent.
Stocks closed down 2.5 percent in Sydney and 0.9 percent in Seoul, while Hong Kong was 0.4 percent lower in late trade. Tokyo managed to eke out a gain of 0.7 percent as investors hunted for bargains.
Chinese share prices closed with a gain of 2.22 percent, led by airlines following reports that two of the nation's biggest carriers could get government aid, dealers said.
The dollar fell to 96.91 yen in Tokyo afternoon trade, down from 97.06 in New York late Friday. The euro dropped to 1.2567 dollars from 1.2591 and to 121.77 yen from 122.24.
"The economic spillover of the financial crisis has increased and there is uncertainty about when conditions will stop
getting worse," said Saburo Matsumoto, chief forex strategist at Sumitomo Trust Bank.
"Equities are struggling to rise and traders are reluctant to buy the dollar, euro and other currencies, pushing up the yen," he said.
There was no let-up in the flow of bad economic news. Official data showed Japan, the world's second largest economy, contracted 0.1 percent in the third quarter, following Germany, Italy and Ireland into recession.
