Watch out,new japanese ruling party just put out a draft targeting 120 as a desirable exchange rate,they really want to push the yen value down to defend industrial recovery via easing and jawboning.

Hi Callum, SHA over the last few years has tended to trend before other equity markets probably because of a lagging effect on commodities,from the asian side we know things are starting to become overheated and governments are starting to tighten.

Good point spec,but I think euro will be hurting more by then,if the oil price is going up spain really hurts,summer of 08 just before lehman when oil was above 100,fishing boats could"nt aford to go out,and there was a truckers strike for same reason that caused food shortages,was in spain then ,so I remember,and thats when the ecconomy was still fairly good!

Like I wrote the other day,market wants a conservative victory and opinion polls seem to be turning in their favor,dollar is strong but against a weak euro this could be very positive if this trend continues for a whopping move against euro in euro/gbp pair.

I watched a very interesting program on NHK last night about how most major japanese companies have been moving production into asean countries that are now major markets. We know thats been going on for some time,but what was interesting was it seems they now see no point in repatriating earnings back to japan,even with the new tax incentive.
