Forget 1997? Did you?

US was down and Europe was up. Dagong (who?) downgraded US credit rating, and investors shying away from periphery of Europe. More tightening from China ahead.

Asia markets were down while European markets are largely up now. Dollar drops, while Gold and Oil rise, and so will stocks.

US and Europe markets were mostly down as European debt concern came back. US dollar strengthened and Euro dropped. Sino Land (83.HK) sold shares after Hang Lung Properties (101.HK) sold shares. May put pressure to property developers stocks.

Asia markets were up for most, while Europeans are down. Ireland debt crisis is looming, and German industrial production disappointed. Set for lower opening in the US.

I believe the markets are still rather excited after the QE2 and recent rally. Risk-appetite is there, and the rise may continue, no matter how unhealthy it actually is.

Week in review 1 to 6 Nov 2010
QE2 sent stocks market higher and higher. That will mean dangers elsewhere. Next week focus: G20. And China CPI release on 11 Nov will be on my radar screen.
Post-QE2 era: brace for the burst of an epic bubble

Up, up, and up. The QE2 is doing its magic, and now the payroll number came in much better than expected.

Trade Irish Bonds, Would You?
Warning for Irish bonds came from the clearing house, but investors in other markets are still happy because Bernanke is running the printing press “as fast as he can”

US and European markets rose on weak dollar. Hang Lung Properties to raise capital in a share placement.

While the Fed did QE2, the Europeans have shown little love for that.
