Indonesia stock info - Asian stocks market outlook october 11 2011 ; Asian stocks rose, driving a regional benchmark index higher for the fourth straight day, after U.S. and European shares jumped in response to a pledge by German and French leaders to stem Europe’s debt crisis.

Rio Tinto Group, the world’s second-largest mining company by sales, rose 1.6 percent in Sydney. Korea Zinc Co. surged 6.5 percent in Seoul. Mitsubishi Corp., which gets 43 percent of its revenue from commodities trading, gained 2.9 percent in Tokyo, while Sony Corp., Japan’s largest exporter of consumer electronics, jumped 5.2 percent. Japanese markets resumed trading today after a public holiday yesterday.

The MSCI Asia Pacific Index gained 1.1 percent to 114.94 as of 9:25 a.m. in Tokyo, led by exporters and mining companies as commodity prices advanced after German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicholas Sarkozy pledged at the weekend to deliver a plan to recapitalize the Europe’s banks and address Greece’s sovereign-debt crisis by Nov. 3. More than four stocks rose for each that fell on the gauge.

“There is hope that if a comprehensive European bank package is announced, the damage on the real economy will be less than currently expected,” said Belinda Allen, a senior investment analyst at Colonial First State Global Asset Management in Sydney, which oversees about $145 billion. “That would be better news for global growth and commodity demand.”
