Some people today want to see a quick fix to the trade imbalance. And if there was one, believe us, we would have tried to get that by now with the Chinese.

Some people today want to see a quick fix to the trade imbalance. In the new global economy, there is not a quick fix.

There's still profit taking pressure but I expect the index to trade around the 17,500 level today.

I would be extremely surprised if the Chinese blamed us for this.

We will also be urging China to help us get the North Koreans to return to the six-party talks ... so that the people on the Korean peninsula have a future that's free from nuclear weapons.

Few market players here are willing to trade aggressively ... this is because of the US holiday today.
