TIPPING POINTS ???????!

Overnight markets across the board saw significant moves. Chinese equities dropped sharply, the various indices posted declines of around 4-5%, this has seen follow through in other Asian indices, though not as steep as the Chinese decline. In Europe the move has seen declines of around 2 - 3% thus far, and S&P futures are currently down around 1.3%. Elsewhere global bond markets rallied, leading to a further declines in yields, with the US 10 year yield breaking below 3%. It now appears that Japan, Europe and the US 10 year government yields have all broken key levels... Meanwhile the USD has posted gains versus the Euro and the USDJPY has dropped and is moving close to the spike low posted on the night of the Flash Crash. -- Also worth noting that European spreads PIIGS v Germany have continued to back up following recent declines......
I have posted a selection of charts showing significant markets and the current move in a wider context... FWIW, I believe we are possibly approaching the end of this corrective phase on equity indices, though until the lows of late-May/Early June are clearly broken, this still has the ability to confound me and prove me completely wrong.
