We’ll be providing market updates here on Coffee House and Trading Floor today, as the financial turmoil continues.
So, just to recap:
— The Dow Jones index closed at -6.98 percent yesterday evening.
— Nasdaq closed at -9.14.
— The Nikkei index closed this moring at -4.12
— Hang Seng closed at +0.76
And so far today:
— After an early plummet, the FTSE is hovering around the 0 percent mark. It’s currently at +0.17 percent.
— Dax is at -0.98
Today’s biggest loser so far has been HBOS – at time of writing, shares in that company are down around 10 percent. As Paul Waugh points out, that could be causing a few headaches in No.10.
