the end is a bit nigher Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Just wondering whether it's worth staying up to see any action. 2 a.m. - what are you expecting? - it will fall a bit because it was closed when walls st fell on friday, just a question of whether or not it builds in extra decline - australian market will give you an idea when it opens at 11 (from memory) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markinspain Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 2 a.m. - what are you expecting? - it will fall a bit because it was closed when walls st fell on friday, just a question of whether or not it builds in extra decline - australian market will give you an idea when it opens at 11 (from memory) I´ve got absolutely no idea what to expect - only those on the inside know that! Just thought it could be a good indicator of what's been happening over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellerkat Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I thought it opened at midnight GMT unless Japan's just moved on to Double Summer Time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
council dweller Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 For whatever reason, rises and falls on the Nikkei tend to be to quite large. 600 points down would a bad day, 800 point would be serious. 300 , nothing worth talking about.

council dweller Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I thought it opened at midnight GMT unless Japan's just moved on to Double Summer Time! The Japanese don't do 'summer time.' It's just one long winter there. Nine hours ahead at this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are end of Friday positions and different to the cash positions, although the Dow future does indicate upward sentiment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean't in percentage terms too and compared to the Dow it moves a lot more. Remember over the longer term it' s also had quite a large range. 39,000 in 89 , 8,000 about 7 or 8 years ago and 18,000 last year.Much more of a rollercoaster.
