ASIA UPDATE AND OUTLOOK Till January 2016 - PART 1 - CHINA, JAPAN

Asian Equities Suffer Despite the obvious technical analysis divergence I spoke of in  my last post , equities in Europe and the US have been rallying again following the harrowing terrorist attacks in Paris. Asian equities did not share the same positive momentum.  There are the obvious reasons, like  a strong USD acts as a magnet for moneys from all over the world. Why invest in a country with an uncertain investment environment when you can have USD safely and - hopefully with a little more interest to boot. USD investors will sell overseas holdings and return to the US in search of investment opportunities. (At some point, the strong dollar will flow into foreign lands again to buy bargain Asian assets. That point is in the distant future!) The currency war is by no means over, and Asian currencies suffer tremendous volatility.  But there are also country specific factors, which add to the conundrum.  Let's look at some of the bigger Asian co...

In continuing our short-term assessment of financial markets, today's report covers European ind ices.  If you want to check back on US and Canadian indices in Part I, click here . Last Sunday, I concluded that a new leg down in equities has started. It should reach a first significant low point around April 18, +/- 3 days. The sell-off could be strongest in large and mega cap stocks. Can this be confirmed by the cycle research in European indices? Part II - European Equities I indicated earlier that European equities have been correcting since last April.   1. EuroStoxx 50 EUROSTOXX50, a 1-year view: a 1 year correction that has more downside to come.
