GLOBAL ECONOMIES - MARKET OVERVIEW - IMPORTANT DATA AND EVENTS TO WATCH NOVEMBER 24th Asian share markets were broadly higher on Monday as the prospect of further policy stimulus in China and Europe whetted risk appetites while sending the euro skidding. The single currency was near 28-month lows having shed 1.2 percent on Friday when European Central Bank President Mario Draghi surprised by declaring his commitment to fighting deflation. That came hot on the heels of an unexpected cut in interest rates from the Peoples Bank of China, and sources told Reuters Beijing was ready to ease further to head off slowing inflation. Chinas rate cut adds to the determination of global policy makers to avoid deflation and support growth, said Shane Oliver, head of investment strategy at fund manager AMP Capital iun Sydney. While U.S. quantitative easing may have ended, its being replaced by QE in Japan and Europe and rate cuts in China, he added. This in turn augurs well for shares and other growth assets.
