The Asian Markets are up, naturally so when the US and European markets realised that the politicians do not have the will nor strength to do anything against Russia.They showed it clearly what they think of them.The chinese housing and fdi figures are out and both are down.This makes it another set of data which is again negative.In Asia all markets are up excepting for Jakarta, seems like the Locusts are profit booking there after a spectacular rise and our SGX NIFTY seems subdued.
