From WSJ
"The Japanese and Indian stock markets took a battering amid concerns stemming from rising U.S. interest rates. The Tokyo market fell 2.5% to close at a three-month low, while Indian shares sank 3.6%. The declines -- in two countries enjoying healthy growth and strong corporate profits -- show the sensitivity of Asian markets to expectations about U.S. rates and their effects on American consumers and investors.

Last month, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised rates by a quarter of a percentage point for the 16th consecutive meeting, lifting the federal-funds rate to 5%. At the time, the Federal Open Market Committee said 'some further policy firming may yet be needed to address inflation risks." WSJ.com - Japan, India Take a Beating:
