Cameron Brandt, Director of Research, EPFR Global, says China's equity market, in some senses, has been the only game in town for domestic investors. There has been eye-catching inflows since the second quarter of this year, which peaked at a record weekly total of $40 billion two weeks back.

And neither of the presidential candidates are saying anything about fiscal discipline. So, there is an assumption that this sort of expansionary fiscal policy will continue into next year.
