I'm lovin May. Now off to work on a real hang-over. :alcohol:
 
I saw following link about Asian markets. Japan's Nikkei 225 index, which plummeted more than 7 percent Thursday, bounced back a sizeable 2.8 percent on Friday. Benchmarks in Indonesia, Taiwan and mainland China also rose. Benchmarks in the Philippines and New Zealand fell. Among frontier and emerging markets Philippines were one of the top performing markets so far.

According to following link

Tech is this still in play or did you get stopped out? I don't have the FTSE in front of me but I'm assuming its traded along a SIMILAR path to the Dax/S&P.

That wide range, big reversal bar from the 22nd may is looking like a pretty good sell signal now.
 
Looks like the NK has put in a bottom for now....wonder of the rest of Asia will follow?:cautious:
 
Finally back in the discretionary chair today after a long hiatus since I went to the US. With liquidity very low this morning, made out like a bandit on the AUDUSD. Looks like there is plenty of EU/UK news out tonight so I will be switching to EURUSD in a couple of hours.
 
Far out...the NK is a one way elevator up at the moment...don't get in the way!

We cannot expect rapid rise in employment in Europe or USA within the short period. We will see gradual improvements there. Germany will lead in Europe. German industrial production has surged in April.USA also will have gradual recovery. Definitely Australian job market is going to become weak due to poor performance in the commodity market in the short run. Lower interest rate and lower commodity prices will improve profits margin of many listed companies in global markets in this quarter. We can expect much improved earnings from many companies.

Despite gloomy forecasts always there will be some economic activities in addition to demand for products and services from population growth globally. For example many countries want to drink New Zealand milk (Anchor) and Asian economy will have to import some commodities from Australia in the coming decade. There are economic activities in less known market in Asia and Africa as well. They also like to use APPLE computer now. Their education level is improving and they also want to surf internet just like emerging and developed world. In addition they want to eat more meat and drink more milk, want to use mobile etc. NEST is expanding even in frontier world. Now Star buck is going to explore emerging world such as India and China with their tea and coffee plan. Unilever also has some plan. They are trying to identify opportunities in emerging and frontier world.

Next week is crucial for the global markets. Current down turn in market will give some opportunities globally. Even Japanese market can go up.

My ideas are not a recommendation to either buy or sell any security or currency. Please do your own research prior to making any investment decisions
