After a distressing day on Wall Street today with the Dow losing 7.33%, the Asian markets are now opening for the October 10th trading day.
Japan's Nikkei market, the first to open, suffered a drastic and immediate drop of 10%. Trading may have been suspended - the news is still coming
in. The last update I can find is from 8:32pm EST indicating the Nikkei fell 10% to 8242; the chart has not updated since.
