Majority of Asian stock indices are down on the day
The Dow broke 26,000 at one point in yesterday's trading - in its quickest 1,000 point jump in history - but gave up gains to close the day slightly lower. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq were both considerably lower overnight, and that's not giving Asian investors a vote of confidence today.
Here are how some of the major indices in Asia are performing so far:
- Nikkei -0.25%
- Kospi -0.37%
- Hang Seng -0.26%
- Shanghai Composite +0.36%
- CSI 300 -0.12%
- ASX 200 -0.54% (closes at 6,015.80)
Energy stocks are the major drag in equities trading so far today in the Nikkei and Hang Seng indices - which follows the trend set by US stocks yesterday.
