Asia Market Wrap was a nightly business news programme broadcast on CNBC Asia from Singapore. ^[1] It aired between 1600 and 1800 (Hong Kong/Singapore time) until December 2005. The show also aired on CNBC US on 5:30 to 6AM ET until 2000, when it was then moved to CNBC World. Anchored by Christine Tan, Asia Market Wrap examined the day's headlines and numbers, with in-depth analysis of the day's financial news, interviewing key money managers, market experts and corporate chiefs.

The programme, which came from its original edition on CNBC US, Market Wrap , included several segments, such as Australia Market Wrap, China Business Briefing and Eye on India. Asia Market Week – a weekly wrap-up of the market action in Asia – aired between 17:30-18:00 on Fridays.

Prior to Martin Soong's original departure from CNBC Asia, he was the programme's regular presenter (the programme was billed as Asia Market Wrap with Martin Soong). When he returned to present Asia Squawk Box , Tan was moved to present Asia Market Wrap instead.

The programme was not aired on CNBC Asia's CNBC Australia, local opt-out – it was instead replaced by CNBC Europe's Morning Exchange (1600–1700 Hong Kong/Singapore Time) and CNBC's Wake Up Call (1700–1800 Hong Kong/Singapore Time).^{[ citation needed ]}
