Fed watch, Japan's rally, and Indonesia's record run
It's been a week of market milestones in Asia from Wall Street optimism spilling over into Tokyo to Indonesia's equity surge and Singapore's brighter growth outlook. But how much of this momentum is real, and how much is just the market getting ahead of itself?
