Think you might be right fc.

Theme definitely ‘split-up’ atm, thinking of Venice not wanting to be part of Italy any-more and Catalonia wanting to break away from Spain.

Marketwise, Tencent biggest fall since 2012 (-6.1% today, -18% since 6 March this year, ouch Naspers) after concerns that internet company valuations in Asia are way overvalued with internet gauge valued 28 times estimated earnings for current year.
 
Tech companies lead past 12mnt on growth speculation on social-networking, e-commerce & online games but it might have come to a screeching halt as indicated overnight by US King Digital (Candy Crush Smartphone game for the ignorant among us, 97 million active daily users) dropped below IPO price.
 
US Dow –0.60%, Nas -1.42%, S&P -0.68%.

Edit:  Sheesh ???, some firm shorted $2.8 billion on the S&P 500 yesterday. Makes me feel better for my shorties though.

Asia-Pacific @ 7:35am

Nikkei  +0.3%
Hang Seng -0.3%
Shanghai -0.4%
ASX 200 -0.5% (closed)
Kospi +0.5%
Sensex +0.4%

What happened to gold yesterday, I’m not following it?  Is it $?  Where are our resident gold bugs?

Asian share markets added to their recent rally on Wednesday as investors chose to accentuate the positive in a mixed bag of global economic data, tipping the safe haven yen to a 10-week trough. Among commodities, Brent crude was flat at $105.64 a barrel having shed over 2 percent overnight on the possibility of a jump in supplies from Libya after rebels blocking eastern oil ports hinted at a deal with Tripoli

Asian markets put discretion before valor on Friday as investors counted down the final hours to the U.S. jobs report, while the euro nursed a grudge after the European Central Bank opened the door to more aggressive easing, albeit not just yet. Australia's share market inched up 0.2 percent (.AXJO), while MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan barely budged
