The continued decline in commodity prices and specifically energy (Libya and Nigeria back on track) weighted both on the A$ (-0.4%) and the ASX (-1.6%). Banks, Energy, Financials and Industrials were all under pressure as Asia moved almost in favour of China. China Blue Chips hit a 18 months high after the inclusion into the […]

With so much on the horizon we saw a mixed session out of Asia today. The one key topic all markets makers were looking at was whether China A-Shares would make the MSCI index have missed it for the past few years. Although it will bring added international attention, China’s recent efforts appear more focused […]

This caused the JPY to trade above the 111 level even as the BOJ talks of 2% inflation (currently 0.5%). Hang Seng and Shanghai saw […]

We have prepared a very important special report on Britain in the wake of the British election. This special report covers the forecast for the British pound (otherwise known as cable or starling) against the dollar, euro, and the Japanese yen. Additionally, this covers the long gilts and the share market. We have also addressed the rising tensions once again in Northern Ireland that may reignite violence.

Moreover, we address how all three forecasts said that the Conservatives and Labour would gain in the election.

However, Asian markets were mixed with the largest mover being KOPSI (+0.75%). China data (CPI) released in line at 1.5% for May, whilst […]
