Asian Midday Marketwatch – Three risks to keep an eye on

Vishnu gives his insights on the possible reasons for the mixed markets performance across the region.

He outlines the three issues that will come to roost in November:

• the prospects for taper (as early as the Nov 3 FOMC)
• potential for Evergrande’s bond default coming home to roost (after the 1-month grace in late-October)
• US debt ceiling threats, the conspiracy of risks may impinge on liquidity

• Central bank numbers out of Thailand and Vietnam
• PMI numbers in several markets globally

Guest: Vishnu Varathan, Head of Economics and Strategy at Mizuho Bank
