Markets shaken by NKorea

AP, London
World stocks fell Tuesday as North Korea test-fired two missiles just a day after its nuclear test, increasing uncertainty among investors already worried that the recent rally in equity markets may be overdone.
European indices followed Asian markets lower, with trading gaining momentum as Britain and the US come back from a long weekend.
In European morning trading Germany's DAX 30 was 1.6 percent lower at 4,842.35 and Britain's FTSE 100 was down 0.8 percent al 4,329.09. France's CAC 40 fell 1.4 percent at 3,190.40
In Asia, South Korea's market led the region's losses with a 2 percent decline.
Geopolitical tensions in Asia echoed through financial markets as North l^prea. defying international criticism, followed up Monday's test of a nuclear bomb by firing two short-range mis-
siles from its east coast
The move came after the UN Security Council condemned the country's nuclear test as a "clear violation" of international bans.
Mitul Kotecha, head of global forex strategy at Calyon, said the news of the missile tests "reverberated through markets overnight." Although its impact has been relatively limited so far, "reports that North Korea is preparing to launch more missiles over coming days may keep markets nervous," he said.
Beyond the geopolitical incident, the market selloff was also due to investors taking a breather from the weeks-long rally which had been fuelled by hopes that the worst of the economic recession is past.
With more downbeat economic news in recent days - including fears of credit ratings downgrades on major economies like the US and UK- traders' optimism has become clouded and
markets have been looking for direction.
"We seem to be stuck at the current leyels," said Winson Fong, managing director at SG Asset Management in Hong Kong, which oversees about $2 billion in equities in Asia. "The market has rebounded so much we're going to need major good news to go higher or major bad news to persuade people to take some profits."
The most prominent victim of the credit ratings fears for the US has been lire dollar, which has slumped in value, particularly against the pound and euro, hurting prospects for European company profits.
After jumping from $1.34 in mid-May to above $1.40 on Monday, the euro traded at $1.3920 on Tuesday. During the same period, the pound rose from $1.51 to $1.5834 on Tuesday after trading at $1,571 on Monday. The dollar rose somewhat against the yen, however, to 95.04 yen from 94.84 on Monday.
