<li>US is focusing on propelling growth with tax cuts, ignoring the debt problem. The obvious consequence, more USD depreciation, could drive more money from US assets into Asia and Europe.</li>
<li>If 1% of US free float market cap flows into Asia, it would constitute 7.2% of Asia's market cap. That's more than 5x the highest ever annual Asian FII inflow.</li>
<li>Taiwan, Korea and India have seen the biggest FII flow revival. To sidestep the deleterious effect of sharp USD appreciation on Asian exports, investors should play China, India, Indonesia, Philippines.</li>
