ASIA – Asian equity markets don’t seem to care much for this Western central planning gong show anymore; the higher expectations for money printed from the heavens get, the lower real inflation adjusted growth expectations go – pretty simple; Japan was flat, HK +0.34%, and Singapore was -0.3%; doing nothing, treading on 6wk lows.
