falling oil price is good news for India and Japan

Alibaba looks like a good way to play the long-term China growth story, and Yahoo is a simple way to give you access to Alibaba

Brazil JPB IBZL

a stronger dollar could be good news for other markets. As long as the euro is weakening, that's a positive sign (perhaps the only one) for troubled eurozone markets. The same goes for Japan. A weak yen (not to mention falling raw materials prices) is good news for Japan too.
