Most Asia-Pacific stock indexes reached important price lows this past September or October. In this final month of 2011, EWI's new Asian-Pacific Financial Forecast reveals whether those lows will hold -- or soon fall -- as we go into 2012.
What's more, you can see what our Asia-Pacific analyst sees, via the preview to its larger forecast: namely the major tech share indexes in the respective countries.
The December issue even offers a healthy dose of cultural analysis, by way of confirming the broader mood that's now driving markets across the region.
As always, you get abundant "visuals" -- in this issue, that means 18 price charts, complete with Elliott wave labels to make the forecasts crystal clear. Consider just some of what the December issue offers:
- Tech indexes as indicator - A rise or fall in the "appetite for risk" among investors is a sure sign of whether the larger stock market trend is up or down; technology indexes across Asia now reveal if that appetite is growing.
- Is a "negative" sentiment reading what it seems? The short answer is YES, especially if that reading has reached a measurable extreme and you see it from the right perspective. One glance at Japan's Nikkei 225/Daily Sentiment Index will tell you all you need to know.
- Another hint on Japan - Osaka's governor resigned so that he could become Osaka's mayor. Why? Well, so that he could fulfill his campaign slogan, to "Destroy City Hall." The new issue explores whether this is as bearish as it sounds.
- Conventional economists have reached a broad consensus on China, even as "some successful contrarian investors take a different view." Discover for yourself whose side the Elliott wave pattern is on in China's stock market.
- A "low" in India - This country was a darling of bulls in 2009-2010, but its Sensex stock average fell hard in 2011. India's politics this year have likewise become deeply polarized. Discover why this environment means "the potential for violence seems high."
- Australia's All Ords: "So Bad It's Good"? There's widespread anxiety that Europe's debt crisis will starve the Australian economy, with some commentators saying it could become a repeat of 2008. But our analysis says this comparison sounds "like an opportunity to contrarian ears."
- Fashion in Asia: Who's "conservative" and who's "flamboyant"? The answer to this question reveals far more about market trends than most people can imagine. See the current examples to spell out exactly why it's vital to understand today's social mood trends in Asia.
