奥巴马连任对亚洲股市影响不大

[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px][b]Asian markets were little changed as President Barack Obama was re-elected to a second term.[/b][/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px][b]美国总统奥巴马连任对亚洲股市影响不大。[/b][/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]There are concerns whether Mr Obama and a Republican-dominated Congress will be able to negotiate a way to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]The cliff will see nearly $600bn of tax increases and spending cuts hit the US [url=http://www.enread.com/news/business/90795.html]economy[/url] in January.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]Japan's Nikkei 225 index ended the day flat, South Korea's Kospi rose 0.5% and Australia's ASX 200 gained 0.8%.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]The fear is that the tax increases and spending cuts that could be enacted if there is no agreement over deficit reduction may derail a fragile US economic recovery, and in a worst case scenario even push the economy into a recession.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]"We head into the fiscal cliff, trying to find compromise where it wasn't possible before," said Rob Ryan, director of [url=http://www.enread.com/news/business/90795.html]markets[/url] strategy, Asia-Pacific for Royal Bank of Scotland in Singapore.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px][b]Broader concerns[/b][/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]The spending cuts and increased taxes are not the only concern among investors.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]The US economy has been battling various other issues, not least the high levels of unemployment in the country, which have dented consumer sentiment and impacted growth. [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]Despite encouraging jobless numbers last week, unemployment continues to hover close to 8%.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]There are concerns amongst some analysts that the jobs market may not improve anytime soon and that the recovery in the US will remain weak.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]That does does not bode well for Asian economies as they rely heavily on US demand for [url=http://www.enread.com/news/business/90795.html]exports[/url]​ and overall growth.[/size][/font][/color]
