Asia trading.

6:20 PM EST Australia stock market is down 3.12 %. Possibly central bankers all around the world are going to lower interest rates. Might be a good idea to monitor currency exchange rates and bond futures.

Right now US dollar exchange rate appears to be strenghening against Euro, Canadian Dollar, British Pound, Australian Dollar and New Zealand Dollar.

Quote from shortie:
