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". 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 some presenters, the programme's title sequence and graphics referred to the programme only as "Market Watch" since 30 October 2000. 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").

When the programme debuted in April 2000, it was entitled "Asia Market Watch" and only lasted for 1 hour with the 2nd half hour a replay of the 1st half hour. However, in October 2000, as part of CNBC Asia's extension of live regional programming, it was simply renamed Market Watch and aired live for 3 1/2 hours on Weekdays (2 hours in the morning from 10-12 SIN time and 1 1/2 hours from 14-15.30 SIN time). Prior to 2 January 2001, CNBC Asia used graphics for the show different from the one used by CNBC US.

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". [http://www.cnbc.com/id/17529373/site/14081545/]
