Asian stocks recover as markets appear oblivious to risk.

Underlying tensions remain but markets seem unaffected by the North Korean missile launch over Japan.  After falls on Tuesday, we saw a rebound on Wednesday. Japan’s NIKKEI index recovered from a four month low.

South Korea KOSPI index headed higher as did Hong Kong’s Hang Seng to gain a little over 1%. Maybe the lack of Trump’s infamous Tweets helped – but more likely UN condemnation and China’s comments calmed the markets.

The risk is there – I just don’t think the markets can see it?

I can’t be the only one worried about this.
