Market analyses for US (Dow Jones Industrial Average), Japan (Nikkei 225), Hong Kong (Hang Seng Index), Singapore (Straits Times Index)

Let's look at the chart above dated 12/11/2010 after the announcement of QE2.  It seems like QE2 has stopped the outflow of funds from the US stock market but it may be premature to make such a conclusion as there are still many crosswinds in the international arena.  Nevertheless, it is a blessing to see that the average trading volume has stopped deteriorating further for the time being.

The chart above dated 12/11/10 shows that fund outflows have stopped and new investors are entering Japan stock market with the increases in the recent average trading volumes.  Previously, funds had been flowing into Asia excluding Japan but it was interesting to note that investors had changed their investment mentalities toward Japan.

The chart dated 12/11/10 above depicts an ebullient Hong Kong market as fund are pouring into this market as early as late September with ever increasing average trading volumes.  This is a well supported market and Hang Seng Index had hit a recent new high.

The chart dated 12/11/10 above indicates that funds started to pour into the Singapore market as early as 3 months ago and this helped to push STI to close above 3,300 points.  Singapore is also a well supported and favoured market as its economy is growing at 15% and its economic size will soon overtake Malaysia's which is 478 times bigger.
