Monday's turn call to sell down longs and put on additional shorts panned out. Now we are positioning for a mild bounce into the month/quarter end to lean on shorts. October still expected to see another leg down. Bigger cycle date comes in near October 7-8th.Top shorts in Asia are Korea (due to undershoot on the back of SEC) and HSI (nearing a low) and Taiwan as the recent addition to our short conviction group.A50 flirting with big breakout resistance at 15,500 and will drive H share direction. A shares show potential to buck the region negative trend if the A50 clears 15,500 pivot.
