Overnight Market Moves: Asia Weakness, Alibaba Drop, and Safe-Haven Flows

Paul reviews the overnight price action and the main drivers behind a risk-off tone across markets. The discussion covers earnings reactions, weakness in Asia, China-related e-commerce pressure, oil and geopolitical headlines, and the renewed role of traditional havens. It focuses on market interpretation rather than detailed forecasts or investment recommendations.
