The Equity market has no signal of being better

the Dow future is trading over -100 in HK day time. I believe there is not much good excuse for them to support the market especially before Easter holiday.

The Dollar still response strong that means investor have risk alert. The Gold keep on trading high at 889 and oil remain weak. Remain same strategies at hedge or sell equity. Long Gold and AUD.
