For the past few days, the Ayala investors lobby lounge area in Ayala Triangle , Philippine Stock Exchange Makati Center have been busy , buzzing from Oh's and Ah's reactionary utterances whilst the monitors of the live trading exchanges have been painted all red except for some with green .

The Philippine stocks , have been battling the bearish mode of stock market movement  since Monday, in times when the countries is experiencing the tropical climatic disturbances which became a storms " Ining". This resulted to a wet and slippery Metro Manila roads, on towards a cloudy wintery climates , unpredictable weather proved to be in cognizant with the unpredictable sentiment of the stock market .

The logic of world insinuation by Market Regulators , that the world market would be best if  China should  devalue its Yuan currency proved to be a figuratively  good and bad premonition.

From  the floor of the US Market Exchanges, China  , India, Australia, London, Japan have been battling heavy weights , reckoning the 1997 South East Asian economic melt down which was trigger with the Thailand gold euphoria. The question for todays' who's gonna make the move to resurrect the happy times stock investing.

What if the US Federal , Janet Yellen  pro actively move its intention to raise interest rate before the Yuan , adjustment for the initial installment of  1. 3 percent . Imagining the catastrophic effect , in the volatility stock market if the China , Yuan abruptly implement its devaluation into 4 percent .What ever corrective move to be done by the US Federal - Janet Yellen , its a synonymous to say how America's economy still a commander of the global order , yet its shows how it become a follower in the policy implementation.
