Monday’s review
Asian stocks fell after Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou agreed to step down and as Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi struggled to keep his majority ahead of a crucial parliamentary vote tomorrow.
The refusal of major economies to offer more aid reflected irritation with Europe’s failure to resolve its crisis and foiled investor hopes that the summit would mark a turning point. The turmoil instead flared again with Berlusconi’s allies pressuring him to step aside as the contagion from the region’s sovereign-debt crisis pushed Italy’s borrowing costs to euro-era records.
Japan’s Nikkei 225 (NKY) Stock Average lost 0.4 percent. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index slipped 0.8 percent, while China’s Shanghai Composite Index dropped 0.7 percent. South Korea’s Kospi Index retreated 0.5 percent and Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 fell 0.2 percent. No
Financial stocks were the biggest drags on the Asia-Pacific index. European finance chiefs return to Brussels today on a mission to convince global leaders that they can shield countries such as Italy and Spain from the spreading debt crisis by bulking out their bailout fund. Greek leaders are also meeting today to pick a new prime minister after Papandreou said he won’t lead the new government.

Cnooc fell 2.2 percent to HK$14.92. The company’s deal to buy BP’s $7.1 billion stake in Pan American Energy collapsed, 10 days after Argentina’s president ordered oil companies to repatriate export revenue.
Among stocks that advanced, Osaka Securities Exchange Co. climbed 7.3 percent to 391,500 yen in Tokyo, the biggest advance since August. The Nikkei newspaper said Tokyo Stock Exchange Group Inc. entered late-stage takeover talks to buy the bourse operator next year, uniting Japan’s largest markets.

European stocks dropped, extending last week’s selloff, as Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi struggled to hold power before a budget vote and Greece worked on plans to form a new government.
In Italy, Berlusconi’s majority is unraveling before a key parliamentary vote tomorrow on the 2010 budget report as contagion from Europe’s sovereign debt crisis pushed the country’s borrowing costs to euro-era records. The yield on Italy’s 10-year bonds surged to as much as 6.68 percent today. Stocks pared losses as Berlusconi’s former spokesman Giuliano Ferrara said the Italian premier is likely to decide on his political future “within hours,” with his formal resignation coming next week after he secures parliamentary approval of austerity and economic-growth measures. Reports of his resignation were “totally unfounded,” Berlusconi said in an interview with newspaper Libero.
The Stoxx 600 dropped 3.7 percent last week after a failed attempt by Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou to hold a referendum on the latest bailout package spurred concern Greece may default.
