<If the US was truly a global player in good standing, they would hike rates today in an emergency session.> Yes they would -- and they would issue an apology for not having done it much sooner.

<<<If Thailand is any indication, you now have the exact reverse of the 97-98 Asian crisis: If Thailand was any indication, the yen would be skyrocketing. It's flat today. There is no crisis brewing right now. Watch long bonds, credit spreads, xlf and xbd. Why would the Fed hike rates because the dollar is weak vs. the Thai Baht? Obviously the current situation is not sustainable but to think the us markets would be getting routed because of the Thai baht is unrealistic.
