Asia is showing what they think of the downgrade of the U.S. and the EU problems.
I would think many are on the phones and computers right now, sweating what will happen tomorrow on Wall Street.
Blythe Masters of JPM is most likely working on throwing the kitchen sink at metals to manipulate them down.
All those Wall Street bankers are probably calling Bernanke telling him to throw money at the stocks (start QE3) so it is not decimated tomorrow.
Needless to say, U.S. bonds aren't exactly being sought after in Asia at the moment.
