WHAT THIS MEANS

⚡ SUGGESTED ACTION

The positive Asian sentiment is offset by US market weakness and elevated VIX. Oil decline is clear, but timing of broader market reversal is uncertain. Consider shorting energy (XLE) or playing volatility (VXX) rather than chasing the Asian rally into US weakness. [MOVE:0.8%]
