General Comments or Valuable Insight
China Mobil (CHL) was a standout mover yesterday taking back a weeks worth of profit taking ( app 7%) in an hour.
It's a risky name to hold overnight, however it's proved to be a good barometer for risk on.
Japan is the low volatility trade. It's back to the April highs matching a similar pattern in the Nasd 100.
DXJ is a manageable name. We'll keep this on our radar for a possible trade today.
