At a glance - Aug09 and YTD performance


In Aug, Asian equities mostly lower on China’s effect. China slumped more than 20% on liquidity concerns. But, DJ edged higher following strong housing data.

However, risk taking remains low as US 10-y T price stays above 100 and yen remains strong.

Cheaper dollar in the second half of Aug sparked buying in the commodities class.
