Keep track GOLD, AUD and aware the edge of the Equity Market

The investment sentiment is strong. Therefore the Equity market in both US and HK has strong support. However, we are in the edge of it. Based on the option future, more call option has been transact at 16000 and 15600 and 15400 , put option more at 14800 and 14000.

So the trading range is at 14000 to 16000

Based on the technical analysis of DOW & S&P, there are little room for up but not much.

However, I would suggest to keep aware of the Gold, 870 is a supporting point, buy little when it reached 870 and then wait for it final direction. I believe the next stop is 840. Buy little.

For the AUD, there will be some movement tomorrow after the rate decision. Remember to buy at low again.

In long run, inflation, and devalue of currency will come true. Keep some gold in your portfolio is better. Good luck

I've bought some China stocks today, about 4 on the list. Some of them seem rather high and I'll wait for better timing.
