Rakuten Bank (5838 JP)'s TOPIX inclusion is this week. And the Real World Float has gotten smaller since the offering. And some of those people aren't going to sell near-term.

Swire Pacific (A) (19 HK)'s P/B is back down to 0.31x as Cathay Pacific Airways (293 HK) tackles alleged language bias by flight attendants. 
Understanding real money demand on the Rakuten (4755 JP) story is key. If there is any, that makes deal overhang smaller than it looks.
