In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng index gave up more than two percent, and the Singapore markets fell sharply too. In Europe, prices are falling, with Germany and France fading but British markets so far managing to limit the losses. The November futures contract on sweet crude oil moved 2.80 percent higher on Tuesday. November Natural Gas futures advanced by more than four percent. With the U.S. Energy department due to reveal inventory statistics at 10:30 a.m. Eastern time, the picture is likely to be clearer then.

And after the massive rise and equally swift fall back to original levels of fast- growing Internet firm Baidu, this one again emanates from China. Shares were expected to debut between US$23-$25 a share, up from original levels of US$19- $21. But shares jumped to open at US$66 and managed to close at US$122.54 after hitting an intraday high of more than US$151. Just weeks later, BIDU was trading back below US$80, and today shares are going for around US$65. While many are likely to be wary of another blockbuster Chinese IPO, the hype aside, this launch will be a big one. China Construction Bank will price its IPO on October 20, with the next week or so sure to be full of news reports, briefings and PR releases to prime the public for this US$7.7 billion offering. However, there's already drama swirling around the launch, as the company has suffered from fraud and impropriety in recent years. In fact, its former chairman was actually arrested, in very public fashion, for bribery. The ensuing investigation uncovered that other employees committed 39 major criminal offenses totaling over US$11 million during the first half of this year. This is an eerie microcosm of the current state of the Chinese markets: Simultaneously filled with promise, yet raw and immature. Time will tell to see if China Construction Bank trends the same way, as it makes its debut on the stock market.
