whatever they buy here.. they can offload to european/asian arbs tonight.
HSI will open up 300-400
Nikkei too since yen got creamed, exporters will push index higher..
european markets will run into weekend on positive note, similar to US markets, retail sales downdraft will be bought up and the initial spike down will be faded to close out the week positive.
edit: thats the infamous retail sales dynamic.
