HONG KONG: Hang Seng Indexes said on Monday (Mar 1) it would shake up the main Hong Kong stock benchmark with the goal of including 100 companies, part of an effort to ensure the index better reflects the range of firms listed in Hong Kong. The Hang Seng Index has historically been dominated by financial services institutions, and even after recent tweaks and additions, these currently account for 40 per cent of the benchmark. Tech giant Tencent, insurer AIA, and HSBC combined currently make up just shy of 30 per cent of the index. The changes included increasing the number of constituents of the Hang Seng Index to as many as 80 by mid-2022 from the 52 now, with an eventual goal of reaching 100, the provider said.

The 10-year and 30-year US Treasury finished at 1.34 per cent and 2.13 per cent, respectively, last week. The rise in US bond yields spooked investors last week and there could a further increase given the inflation dynamics, according to Christopher Wood, global head of equity strategy at Jefferies. “The US bond market sell-off has continued over the past week, and with it the increased potential for an inflation scare. "Still, there is plenty of scope for bonds to sell off more since the last time the 5-year forward inflation expectation rate was running at current levels (namely in early December 2018), the 10- and 30-year bond yields were significantly higher at 2.91 per cent and 3.17 per cent, respectively,” the market guru said in his newsletter GREED & fear.

JAKARTA: Indonesian President Joko Widodo has prioritised economic development during the first 100 days of his last term in office, say analysts interviewed by CNA, adding that other matters like the environment and legal reforms may have taken a backseat. This approach is in stark contrast with Mr Widodo's first term in office, where he quickly tackled an array of issues like the law, security and economy. In every public occasion during the last few months, the Indonesian leader, popularly known as Jokowi, has spoken about global economic challenges and investment, noted political analyst Yunarto Wijaya from think-tank Charta Politika. “This has its consequences and risks. Other sectors are being less prioritised,” Mr Wijaya said.
