That thread was actually talking about the Shanghai index not the Hong Kong index. I pasted a pic of HSI in that thread. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=94199
And I wouldn't go long the us indexes because of the HSI -- watch the Nikkei for that sort of guidance. <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1466464">
HONG KONG, May 14 (Reuters) - Hong Kong-listed stocks in mainland companies, or H shares, surged 5.3 percent to an all-time high on Monday after China said it would let qualified domestic institutional investors plough funds into overseas equities for the first time.
Last Friday night,scared by the bubble in the domestic A-share stock market, Chinese government cancelled restriction on chinese citizen to invest in overseas security market. Now the huge Chinese people's saving can ( and definately will ) flow to foreign stock markets, Hong Kong is the first target. Not a good day for trading HSI , see also this thread. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=94384
