I've traded FXP a few times successfully and had a position going into today. I have no idea how Shanghai and HK Red Chip closed lower and FXP went down (and why FXI went up).

Any ideas?

when they saw how effective they were at killing the 148s, then went for the 149s too
There was a bullish article in IBD today
WFMI soothed the pain of some other positions
I'd load up on GES puts. That should tank hard in coming weeks, along with some other high end retailers

Options expiry is probably right, they are pushing FXI to 150. Stupid me for not checking.

Looks like the last trade for FXI was $150.099. The put writers win big. Of course, we don't know what it cost them to move it there.
