Asia Market Watch was 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, took its name from the previous CNBC US programme Market Watch with Maria Bartiromo. The programme was also aired in part on CNBC Europe and in its entirety in the US on CNBC World.

Although it was 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 network's October 30, 2006 revamp) and graphics referred to the programme only as Market Watch. The programme, which debuted a new logo on October 30, 2006, then used the theme music previously adopted by Street Signs (as the same as formerly Business Center).

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

The programme ended its run on March 23, 2007 as part of a major schedule revamp by CNBC Asia. The timeslot currently occupied by the show has been split between a new-look Asia Squawk Box and a new programme, CNBC's Cash Flow. [1]
