Local markets are looking for a timid start as the Eurozone's issues rose to the forefront once more. Europe's decision to impose such a levy has been labelled reckless and uncalculated. Such actions could force a run on the banks in other debt laden countries. However, futures markets are pointing to a bounce back in domestic equities, indicating that sentiment could be more resilient than once thought.

Local stocks look to consolidate recent gains, after closing Thursday at new four-and-a-half-year highs. Official reports released yesterday showed private capital expenditure in the country fell to a seasonally adjusted rate of -1.2% in the fourth quarter from 1.1% in the third quarter. That raised the possibility the central bank would cut slash interest rates at its meeting next week. Local new Home Sales posted a 4.2% gain on a Month-on-Month basis.
