Presume Asian markets, including Singapore, will knee-jerk react today.
Several threads on Valuebuddies flagged up the issue of the rising interest rates that have spooked markets, and did so while markets were still euphoric.
There appears to be a concern that the unwinding of large plays on low volatility may cause further falls (and volatility) in the markets in the near term. Longer term (months and years), there is the reversal of QE, normalisation of interest rates and prospect for inflation, and the effect these factors will have on super-heated asset markets.
Looking forward to finding real value stocks again, which has been difficult over the last year. No idea how long or how far the current fall will continue, so will just react when I see value.
