Updates with Tokyo and Hong Kong figures

EQUITIES
NEW YORK - U.S. stocks fell about 1 percent on Friday as
another month of tepid jobs growth underlined fears the economy
was stalling, though not to the point where more economic
stimulus from the Federal Reserve was imminent.
The Dow Jones industrial average was down 124.20
points, or 0.96 percent, at 12,772.47. The Standard & Poor's 500
Index was down 12.90 points, or 0.94 percent, at
1,354.68. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 38.79
points, or 1.30 percent, at 2,937.33.

LONDON - Britain's FTSE 100 dropped on Friday when investors
took profits on recent strong gains after unexpectedly soft U.S.
jobs data knocked confidence in the world's biggest economy, and
a key technical support broke, flagging more weakness.
The FTSE 100 closed down 30 points, or 0.5 percent
at 5,662.63, as investors cashed in on a cumulative 3.6 percent
of gains over the previous five sessions.

TOKYO - Japan's Nikkei share average broke the
psychologically important 9,000 level in early trade on Monday
after poor U.S. jobs data reinforced concerns about flagging
global growth, while domestic industrial machinery makers
suffered losses on falling orders.
The Nikkei dropped 1 percent to 8,933.67 while the broader
Topix index fell 0.8 percent to 765.49.

HONG KONG- Shares were set to start the week lower on
Monday, dragged by weakness in the property sector, with
investors bracing for a slew of China economic figures, starting
with June inflation later in the day.
The Hang Seng Index was set to start down 0.84 percent
at 19,634.84. The China Enterprises Index of top Chinese
listings in Hong Kong was indicated to start down 1.12 percent.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE
SYDNEY- The euro plumbed a two-year low versus the greenback
early on Monday, while high-beta currencies like the Australian
dollar nursed losses with markets still smarting after tepid
U.S. jobs growth dealt a blow to risk sentiment late last week.
The single currency traded as low as $1.2225 first
thing this morning in thin trade as stops were triggered,
bringing into view the 2010 trough around $1.1876.

TREASURIES
SINGAPORE - U.S. 10-year Treasuries held firm as the yield
hovered near a one-month low on Monday after last week's
surprisingly weak jobs data stirred fresh concerns about the
strength of the economy's recovery.
Ten-year Treasuries held steady in price to yield 1.549
percent, down about 1 basis point from late U.S.
trade on Friday. The 10-year yield was not far from Friday's low
of 1.537 percent, its lowest level since early June.

COMMODITIES
GOLD
SINGAPORE - Gold inched down on Monday, extending losses to
a third session, on a lack of conviction the U.S. Federal
Reserve would take measures to stimulate the economy anytime
soon even after a disappointing jobs report.
Spot gold dropped to its lowest in almost two weeks
of $1,575.89 an ounce, before recovering slightly to $1,578.89
an ounce by 0028 GMT.

BASE METALS
SHANGHAI - London copper gained slightly on Monday, after
dropping more than 2 percent in the prior session, as data
showing China's inflation cooled further in June helped counter
a bleak U.S. jobs report.
Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange
edged up 0.3 percent to $7,550.25 per tonne by 0158 GMT,
snapping three sessions of losses.

OIL
NEW YORK - Brent crude prices fell sharply on Friday after a
report showing tepid U.S. jobs growth in June reinforced
concerns that a sluggish global economy will curb demand for
petroleum.
U.S. crude fell more than 3 percent and posted a 51-cent
weekly loss, while an oil-workers' strike in Norway and rising
tensions over Iran's disputed nuclear program allowed Brent
crude prices to record a 39-cent weekly gain, based on
settlement.
Brent August crude fell $2.51 to settle at $98.19 a
barrel, with the $97.73 low recorded in post-settlement trading.
U.S. August crude slumped $2.77 to settle at $84.45 a
barrel, down 0.6 percent for the week and falling as low as
$84.02 in post-settlement trading.
