SINGAPORE, Aug 29, 2012- Global Investor Confidence Index (ICI) fell in August 2012 on a month-to-month basis, according to State Street Global Markets, the investment research and trading arm of State Street Corporation.

The global ICI fell from July's revised reading of 94.3 to 90.9 in August.

Driving the decline was a sharp deterioration in risk appetite among North American investors: the North American ICI declined 8.7 points from July's revised level of 93.1 to settle at 84.4.

The European ICI was close to unchanged, ticking down half-a-point from 101.7 to 101.2.

Among Asian investors, risk appetite improved for the fourth successive month, and the Asian ICI rose 2.9 points from a revised level of 90.6 to finish at 93.5.

The State Street Investor Confidence Index was developed by Harvard University professor Kenneth Froot and Paul O'Connell of State Street Associates.

It measures investor confidence or risk appetite quantitatively by analysing the actual buying and selling patterns of institutional investors.

23 Muharram 1433


Today’s news stated that BURSA Malaysia is expected to trend higher this week on oversold situation, technical buying and year-end window-dressing, dealers said. According to the source, they said the other positive factors to support the local index were a stable euro, well-subscribed Spanish bond auction and a short-covering rally in the European stocks.

However, the benchmark FBM KLCI ends with morning trading at 12.30 p.m. lower by 0.68 points or 0.05% to 1,465.54.There were 201 counters up, 403 down and 249 remained unchanged. Volume stood at 886.8 million shares valued at RM458.1mil. According to HwangDBS key equity indices on the Wall Streets ended mixed last Friday as Fitch Ratings lowered France's credit outlook, and also put Spain, Italy, Belgium, Slovenia, Ireland and Cyprus on a Rating Watch Negative review, which was expected to be completed by the end of January (FBM KLCI ends morning market lower, 2011).

Whether up or down, it seems like the overall stock market outlook for this week is remain uncertain.
