Asian stocks were negative in the aftermath of the rush of global central bank rate hikes during ‘Super Thursday’ and with risk appetite not helped by the absence of participants in Japan for the Autumnal Equinox Day. ASX 200 was heavily pressured on return from yesterday’s national day of mourning closure and took its first opportunity to react to the hawkish FOMC with the tech and consumer-related sectors the worst hit. KOSPI declined with the recent flurry of central bank rate hikes adding to the arguments for the BoK to continue on its hiking cycle as South Korean officials look to avert one-sided currency moves. Hang Seng and Shanghai Comp slightly deteriorated throughout the session as the early support from reports regarding Hong Kong and Macau potentially easing restrictions for arrivals gradually waned, while US audit watchdog officials recently arrived in Hong Kong for audit inspections as firms seek to avoid delisting from US exchanges.
Probably within 2 months, there will be a declaration of war. I wonder what that will do for pension plans and the market? Everyone I know is in denial. The indoctrination is complete.
I thought Putin had already acknowledged that the collective West is at war with Russia. Did anyone else hear that?
I was wrong when i thought 2008 was the financial collapse many of us had been expecting. The ability of the Fed et al to pull that one out of the fire was amazing. I may be wrong again, but I think this time it is all coming down…
The Fed pulled that one out of the fire?

2008 was never corrected, it was buried like a cat turd and continued to grow into the biggest bubble ever, stand by for incoming.
This will be epic.
