SATURDAY 2/1/14

The Olympics begin in five days as Russian security forces increase their presence in and around Sochi. China’s PMI drops to 50.5, holding on to expansion rather than contraction, however, the number is lower than the previous month and will continue the emerging market negativity come Monday. Much of Asia is enjoying the new year celebrations so now they have another excuse to drink their troubles away.

The Mount Sinabung volcanic eruptions grow more violent and deadly. An Indonesian village is completely covered in ash killing 15 with the death count expected to increase. Thousands of people are dislocated after the volcano became highly active in September.
