You may have noticed that many investors tend to think that "Stocks in the same region of the world move together." This assumption seems to make sense, because regions often do share trading ties, natural resources, labor pools, etc. And yet... it's not the reality.

Hong Kong is one of the world's most vibrant financial centers, yet its name is also synonymous with lethal influenza. It's the city where the H5N1 avian flu was discovered 15 years ago. You probably knew that. But did you know that the H5N1 discovery -- and every major Hong Kong flu outbreak since then -- came at or near a low in the Hang Seng stock index? Few people realize this...

Today, while many market watchers worry about whether the eurozone is about to fall apart, India and Pakistan provide a story of coming together. What is going on? Why NOW? Is it really possible that the conflicts and mistrust between the world's 2nd and 6th most-populous nations should continue to wane and may even turn into a golden era of rapprochement? The November 2011 Asian-Pacific Financial Forecast gives you the complete socionomic analysis of the India-Pakistan relations -- and comes to some surprising conclusions.

At the start of this year, EWI's Asian-Pacific Financial Forecast pointed to a trendline break in Bangladesh’s Dhaka General Index and said it was probably the first of many such events that would unfold in 2011 throughout Asia. The May issue added other emerging Asian bull markets that were likely to fall next. Just as forecast, one by one the region’s dominoes have continued to topple this year...

It's official: Asian-Pacific stocks just had their worst quarter since 2008. Yet some markets' woes are even more staggering: like Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index, which sealed its worst quarter in a decade. It's been difficult for traders to navigate these stormy seas of market volatility. That's why you should have a co-pilot on board...

During the 16-year-long U.S. bear market in 1966-1982, the DJIA suffered several major declines and ultimately lost 14%. Over the same period, Japan’s Nikkei 225 gained 389% and India’s stock market gained 233%. Hong Kong and Singapore achieved even bigger gains. How can that be, you ask -- don't all global stocks move pretty much in unison?

Here's what EWI's Asian-Pacific Financial Forecast Interim Report told subscribers on March 23, 2009: "In the March 2009 issue of The Asian-Pacific Financial Forecast, we showed how pattern, price, time and sentiment considerations were pointing to the end of multi-month, five-wave declines in most major Asian-Pacific indexes by late March. In most cases, those lows have likely been achieved." Since then Asian-Pacific stocks have had a very good run indeed...

We all know about the tragic earthquake and tsunami in Japan on March 11. The event reverberated throughout the world. It was also blamed for the losses in Japan’s NIKKEI 225 stock index. But did you know that the NIKKEI’s decline stopped and reversed right at a Fibonacci price support level of 61.8%?..

On March 11, one of the tragic events we talked about above took place when Japan's eastern coast was struck down by a magnitude 9.0 earthquake, the biggest in the country's history. Japans' NIKKEI 225 stock index has suffered a 3000-point collapse since the catastrophe. At first glance, that fits the "news-moves-markets" theory perfectly. But let's take another look. Was there anything about the NIKKEI's Elliott wave pattern that suggested a decline before the earthquake? Yes.

"A Merrill Lynch survey of global fund managers finds that long exposure to emerging markets has now dropped to merely 5%, the lowest reading since March 2009." That's one of the opening market insights you'll find in EWI's newest, March Asian-Pacific Financial Forecast. Is the low interest in emerging markets a bearish sign, or a contrarian bullish sign for Asian-Pacific stocks?

The movement of Greece's ASE (which is down over 50 percent since mid-October 2009) provided EWI's European Short Term Update editor Chris Carolan an opportunity to teach about one of the useful technical indicators that he likes to combine with Elliott wave analysis -- Keltner channels.

The hot topic: the yen's sudden winning streak to one-week highs against the U.S. note. According to the usual sources, one main factor has flipped the yen's bearish switch: A falling stock market -- namely, Japan's Nikkei index.The problem is, there's no consistent inverse correlation between the Yen and stocks over time.

20 years ago, Japan's Nikkei hit its peak of 38,957. At the time, the Nikkei had nowhere to go but up. It now trades for about a quarter of that peak figure. Twenty years of hindsight can make for a lot of clarity.
