Be prepared for the next great transfer of wealth. Buy physical silver and storable food.

The Nikkei re-opened after yesterday’s public holiday but again was sold from the open. The key banks suffered yet more liquidations eventually closing Mitsubishi UFJ -2.3%, SMFG -4.1%, Mizuho -3.7% and the main Nobel House (Nomura) was down 9.2%. Exporters also suffered Toyota, Nissan and Sharp all down between 6 and 10%. The Nikkei closed down 4.8% just below the 15k level to end an 11% decline for the week. It is worth noting that late Friday evening the Nikkei futures are currently bounced 3.5% since the Tokyo close.
European shares produced a much needed bounce ahead of the weekend and saw all core markets closing between 2 and 3% higher on the day. Energy prices were the main excuse used by dealers but prices were very stretched on the week and so profit-taking was probably expected. Oil bounced almost 11% at one stage in the day. Given the bounce in commodities shares such as BP, Tullow Oil and Total all saw healthy buying producing returns of between 8 and 11%. Anglo American was one of the better showings (+17%) but also Glencore (+12%) and some banks benefited. Deutsche Bank and Soc Gen closed +11.8% and +18% respectively.
