Shanghai underperformed after China FDI for October disappointed, coming in at 1.2% vs. expectations of 6.1% and 4.9% previously. Developers came under pressure after Guangzhou became the latest city to raise down-payment requirements for second homes and banks were also weaker on continued concerns over interest rate liberalization. Hong Kong however held up but came off the earlier highs. Japan struggled as the JPY dipped below 100. South Korea, which has been a recent laggard, outperformed with the KOSPI closing at the best levels as foreigners and locals both supported the market. European markets are broadly lower and tracking the late day sell-off in the US that used Carl Icahn's comments that he is very cautious on equities as an excuse to book some profits.
