Quote from justrading:
Something I have been pondering today, haven't got an answer so let's discuss.
Thai market plunging because foreign funds are liquidating, I've got a ringside seat here. Started since talk of tapering QE began. Same for other South East Asian Markets.
Japan is basically headline driven.
Since tapering has not actually begun, the money pulled out of SEA (and Japan and Hong Kong) has to go somewhere for the time being a least. The question is where? Europe is volatile/down too so it isn't going there, indeed some may be pulling out of Europe.
US bonds? When tapering begins, yields will go up and prices down. Short term nothing to stop prices going up?
US stocks? In that case it won't be that much of a dip/pullback.
Thoughts?
