[RT] RE: Correlation of international markets?

About the other Asian markets I don't know, but here in India when almost a fourth of our FX reserves comprise of overseas fund managers inflows, we get the jitters every time the NASDAQ or the DOW sneeze. We had been closed Friday and my bet is come Monday we shall see a lot of stocks open LD and stay locked LD because we have a fixed 8% band(both to the upside and the downside) on prior close.

Correlation is less than what the eye says and varies a lot over time.
European markets are more correlated to the US than Asian markets, but
mostly on the downside in sharp trends, less so on the upside...

FWIW
