STOXX 600 edges 0.9% higher

ASX SPI Futures up 54 points

wise-owl.comPowered by

U.S. stocks advanced, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average notching

its best day of the year, as investors looked past another rout in

Chinese stocks to focus on a rally in crude, corporate earnings and the

start of the Federal Reserve’s first policy meeting since turmoil gripped

financial markets.

The S&P 500 climbed 1.4 percent at 4 p.m. in New York, paring the

U.S. benchmark gauge’s monthly decline to 6.9 percent. Apple Inc. is

among 23 companies from the index posting results on Tuesday.

China’s declining currency and equities-market rout has fuelled

concern government policies aimed at stabilizing the economy would

fall short and damage there would spread to the global economy.

The Stoxx Europe 600 Index climbed 0.9 percent at the close of trading

in London. It erased a decline of as much as 2 percent as crude rose

above $30 a barrel after Iraq’s oil minister said Saudi Arabia and

Russia are now more flexible about cooperating to cut output.

The ASX200 experienced a strong session ahead of Tuesday’s public

holiday rising 1.8% to close at 5,006.6 points. International markets

soared on Friday buoyed by crude oil which jumped nearly 9% to over

US$31/barrel. Oil continued to rise during Asian trade on Monday,

which seemed to have brightened investor sentiment for the time

being.

All sectors finished higher on Monday. The embattled Energy sector

was the main beneficiary which gained 3.5%, followed by Financial

stocks which added 2.5%. Investors bought oil and gas producers

hoping that the rally in crude oil is sustainable. Origin Energy

(ASX:ORG) rose 5.5%, while Santos (ASX:STO) jumped 4.2%.

There was no economic news for Australia.

Last week the ASX 200 recorded its first weekly gain of the year, as it

added a modest 0.5 percent.

DATE CODE COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENTSantos Releases Q4 Report

Oil miner Santos (ASX:STO) have released their Q4 activities

report, showing maintained levels of production, along with

noticeably lower revenue figures.

Q42015 production was relatively steady at 14.9MMboe, being 3%

higher, when compared to Q32015. However, production was 1%

lower to the pcp. Full year production was 57.7MMboe, being 7%

higher than 2014.

Executive Chairman Peter Coates attributed the persistent levels

in production to the positive performance of several mines: “PNG

LNG and Darwin LNG operated at record rates during the fourth

quarter, while GLNG has ramped up as expected following first

LNG in late-September.”
