Yeah, their market is at a record high. Trade sanctions could spook them pretty bad. That in turn might spook our market.
if it can sell one day then it is this coming Monday. Today's new US tarrifs on imports from China are like taxing China's growth story. The story is clearly based mainly on external consumption (and infrastructure rebuilding) ... so watch out for opening of Japan new fiscal year - it may be with fireworks....
So why was this government praising globalization and outsourcing if now they impose tariffs on chinese imports? A bit late no?
