Global Market

Asian markets decline as japanese stocks continued to be weighed down by a strong yen on Tuesday (August 06, 2013), while shares in Sydney were slightly lower before the Reserve Bank of Australia’s policy meeting.

Europe’s benchmark stock index extended gains into a sixth straight session on Monday (August 05, 2013) after a raft of upbeat global business-activity figures, although the encouraging data further fueled fears of a reduction in central-bank easing.

US stock market slipped on Monday, with benchmark index pulling away from record highs, as Wall Street considered a report indicating better-than-expected growth in the service sector and a Fed official’s remarks that the central bank is closer to curbing its asset purchases.
