Asia Market Watch

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Asia Market Watch is a business news programme aired on CNBC Asia from 9 a.m. to noon, Hong Kong/Singapore/Taiwan time. The programme, presented by Amanda Drury, takes its name from the previous CNBC US programme Market Watch with Maria Bartiromo. The programme is also aired in part on CNBC Europe and in its entirety in the US on CNBC World.

Although it is referred to as Asia Market Watch in programme listings and by presenters, the programme's title sequence (which was derived from Morning Call's, and used the same music until the Asia net's October 30, 2006 revamp) and graphics refer to the programme only as Market Watch. The programme, which debuted its new logo on October 30, 2006, now uses the theme music previously adopted by Street Signs (as the same as formerly Business Center).

The programme tracks the current trading in the Asian session, with link ups to bourses across Asia, including Tokyo and Sydney.
