Monday, March 18, 4:57 AM Ron Rowland offers additional highlights on the recently expanded lineup of commission-free ETFs over at Fidelity including the following caveat: Funds not held for 30 days by retail investors or 60 days by RIAs using Fidelity as a custodian will be subject to a $7.95 per-trade commission.

Tuesday, December 13, 2011, 11:04 AM Mike Riddell returns from a trip to Asia with video diary actually feeling a bit better about Chinese property where he says there is no evidence of a bubble in the tier 2 and tier 3 cities. One story we may start hearing more about is Asian reliance on trade finance provided by European banks who are certain to be pulling back from the business as they deleverage. Comment! [Global & FX]
Tuesday, December 6, 2011, 2:53 AM Asia is facing "much greater downside risks" because of the possibility of new recessions in the U.S. and EU, and the threat of destabilizing capital flows, says the Asian Development Bank. The possibility of another global financial crisis means Asian countries must have "sufficient flexibility" to rapidly adjust policies. 5 Comments [Global & FX]
Tuesday, November 29, 2011, 9:04 AM Europe's issues are secular and global, writes Bill Gross, "reflecting worldwide delevering and growth dynamics that began in 2008."

Thursday, November 17, 2011, 9:59 AM Inflation worries have quickly been replaced in Asia, where recently hawkish central banks - Indonesia and South Korea to name two - are either sitting on their hands or beginning to slash rates as 2012 starts to look bleak. Of course, China is the gorilla, and, as of yet, hasn't begun to lift its clampdown on credit. Comment! [Global & FX]
Tuesday, February 15, 2011, 5:30 PM Not only do emerging markets have to deal with slowing growth, rate hikes, and inflation, but their shares are not necessarily cheap. RBC points out the ratio of emerging market valuations to G7 valuations is at the highest level since right before it collapsed in the mid-90s. Comment! [Global & FX]
Wednesday, February 9, 2011, 7:30 AM Stock markets across Asia continue to feel the effects of not just China's rate hike, but tighter monetary policy and appreciating currencies across the region. China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, and India all fall nearly 1% or more. Asia ex Japan ETF: AAXJ. Comment! [Global & FX]
