Quick: Name the tallest skyscraper in the world. Yes: Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

How about the world's tallest tower? The Eiffel Tower, you say? No. It's the new Skytree that's just opened in Tokyo.

The Japanese aren't alone in their desire to reach for the sky. In Jakarta, the developers of the $2b Signature Tower “think that this is the right moment for building the tower,” as well.

Why would an investment newsletter like ours talk about tall towers, you ask? Because almost all of the world's tallest buildings have famously appeared only at a certain point in the stock market's Elliott wave pattern.

The latest, June issue of our Asian-Pacific Financial Forecast explains more.

Also in the June issue:

JAPAN: Take Me To Your Leader. The NIKKEI has lead the decline across the region. Yet at the same time, it's been investing overseas at a record pace. For example, as European banks shrink, Japanese megabanks have expanded their operations abroad. Clearly, Japan hopes the global economy will bail them out of the domestic slump. One look at Japan's Elliott wave patterns -- and you'll know who will likely win in the end, the skeptics or the optimists.

AUSTRALIA: The ASX All Ordinaries stock index is declining -- and doing so, in Elliott wave terms, impulsively. We are watching a long-term trend channel’s midline, which has consistently served as support and resistance level throughout its 137-year history.

Special Section -- Xenophobia: Why Now? According to a recent poll, 51% of Australians are in favor of "saying no to all migrants.” We explain what's behind the trend, and how long it should continue.

HONG KONG & SINGAPORE: Similarly to Australia, foreigners in Singapore have been getting an increasingly cold shoulder, too. The Elliott wave position of the Hang Seng and Straits Times stock indexes make it clear what to expect next -- both for stocks, and for local xenophobia.

CHINA & VIETNAM: Parallel Trends. Stocks in China and Vietnam have been moving sideways. Elliott wave analysis makes it clear why: Both are developing a pattern called a triangle. Triangles are one of the most reliable wave patterns known, so this is your chance to know the next very likely move in both markets -- ahead of time.

PAKISTAN & INDIA: Friends Again? Former cricket superstar and Pakistani opposition party chairman Imran Khan has declared that the “time has come now for a new relationship between the two historical rivals." We explain why this reconciliation is taking place now, and how long it may last, given the Elliott wave picture in Pakistan’s KSE-100 and India’s Nifty.

SPECIAL STUDY: Arab-Israeli Relations. Our subscribers know that Jordan’s Amman General Index has been an excellent proxy for mood in Arabian society. Today, this reliable "social mood meter" is not very optimistic. See our long-term Elliott wave-labeled charts of Israel’s Tel Aviv 100 and Jordan’s Amman General stock indexes to understand why.

The Elliott Wave Principle is a detailed description of how financial markets behave. The description reveals that mass psychology swings from pessimism to optimism and back in a natural sequence, creating specific Elliott wave patterns in price movements. Each pattern has implications regarding the position of the market within its overall progression, past, present and future. The purpose of Elliott Wave International’s market-oriented publications is to outline the progress of markets in terms of the Wave Principle and to educate interested parties in the successful application of the Wave Principle. While a course of conduct regarding investments can be formulated from such application of the Wave Principle, at no time will Elliott Wave International make specific recommendations for any specific person, and at no time may a reader, caller or viewer be justified in inferring that any such advice is intended. Investing carries risk of losses, and trading futures or options is especially risky because these instruments are highly leveraged, and traders can lose more than their initial margin funds. Information provided by Elliott Wave International is expressed in good faith, but it is not guaranteed. The market service that never makes mistakes does not exist. Long-term success trading or investing in the markets demands recognition of the fact that error and uncertainty are part of any effort to assess future probabilities. Please ask your broker or your advisor to explain all risks to you before making any trading and investing decisions.
