the cnn link? Seems to be a mis-print, not reflected anywhere else (bloomberg, yahoo, ToS) not sure what to make of that one

reply to post by redhatty

DAX 3,747.78 4:25AM ET 95.96 (2.50%)
DAX 30 3,747.00 -100.50 -2.61

the cnn link just corrected. If marketwatch and cnn are using the same feed (which is where the misprint would emanate from) then the marketwatch link should update shortly.

cnn now showing: XETRA-DAX -91.63 -2.38% 3,752.11

Hmmm...

MDAX Open: 4,549.21
Current 4,509.10
also from marketwatch

HAS to be a misprint

Misprint

Here's Bloomberg's MDAX page

But here's some bad news to counter that relief...

American gross domestic product in the final three months of 2008 declined at an annual rate of 6.2%, much weaker than the earlier estimate of a 3.8% fall and the worst performance by the world's biggest economy since early 1982.

A breakdown of the data revealed that consumer spending, exports and investment in commercial property were all even lower than originally believed, although the main reason for the downward revision to growth was that the build up of inventories by companies was far less pronounced than originally believed.

Analysts said there had been no let-up in the bad news since the turn of the year and the markets are now braced for payroll figures next Friday to show that around 750,000 jobs were lost in the US during February, with worse to come in future months.

Rob Carnell, economist at ING Financial Markets, said: "Data released so far in the first quarter of 2009 suggest that we are in for another horror story, with new record lows being set in consumer confidence, accelerating declines in the labour market [we may be nearing a million payrolls losses per month before long] and further severe contractions for business investment." Paul Ashworth of Capital Economics said he did not expect the US economy to begin expanding again until 2010 and even then the recovery was likely to be "muted".

Why does it sound so much worse when the UK writes it up?

whew...

hehe I did your edit trick

Look up

It` wierd...but i`m no expert.

These are the numbers from the Market Overview
DAX -430.61 -9.35%
www.marketwatch.com...

and this from the quote

DAX -430.30 -8.69%
www.marketwatch.com...

Shouldn`t they be the same?

And i wonder how many people are making they`r mind`s on when to sell or buy on these market f.e. Marketwatch and others sites.I would say if i see a 10-12% market drop, my jaw would drop as well.My question is how fatal/dramatic these glitches can be?

sry for the bad english and grammar

reply to post by redhatty
oh boy...
less inventory than expected and still couldn't move it?
~750k jobs...that's a major hit...these earley release numbers aren't gonna help this week...it'll drag it down right till the real release...

reply to post by rixhell


I would guess that the majority of people who trade on the MDAX are in Germany and have German sites to use to monitor the index.

Not to mention that traders are going to use a trading platform which has live streaming action.

If someone freaked out from the Market Watch or CNN displays, one call to their broker would resolve the question

.31 shouldn't show up as a 1% difference...major data problems...glad I'm not depending on those to make money...

LOL no kidding.

I expected worse reactions on the markets tonight. HSBC must have already been priced in, OR, Trade on HSBC has been suspended for all indexes today.

I see no change on it at all - anywhere - so I am leaning to no trading on it.

Now the question, remain awake or catch a couple hours shut eye???

INFINEON TECH 0.49 0.01 1.24 10,292,426 05:12
Infineon Technologies AG 0.50 -0.18 -36.84% 9,772,689 3/2 11:10am

look at the volume...strange?

Sleep would probley be a good thing!!!


[edit on 3/2/2009 by Hx3_1963]

bloomberg.com has dow futures at -149, which will have the dow open around 6900. I imagine today is going to be pretty bad.

Also, "our" Government gives AIG another $30 billion.

Edit for wording.
