There IS going to be dramatic market reaction to the Moody's AAA downgrade. My guess is the HSI will lose >2500 points in the next week or so, >10000 points in the medium term.

When markets fall, bankerwankers stop traveling. Our (CX) front end is mostly financial sector, and a hit there will certainly scale back growth.

There may be some "rightsizing" on the horizon.

Whatever happens next (I'm no guru), we haven't seen the worst of the "crisis".
