There is not much direction to find for U.S. listed Chinese ADRs in Asian trading this morning.

Shanghai is obsessed with another mega IPO, this time China Southern Locomotive is going public, raising concerns that already slim liquidity might dry up. This is the time when technical indicators are extremely useful. One of them is the so called Overbought / Oversold indicator, or simply OBOS. This tool looks into stock trading characteristics and determines if a stock went up too much too fast - thus is susceptible for a pull back or just the opposite.
