Whilst well and truly off their lows, Asian bourses remains all down with the Nikkei (not surprisingly) leading the way down 2.1% whilst the Hang Seng is down 1.8% – the others are trading around the 1.0% down mark. The Shanghai Composite as always has run its own race and was last seen down a very tiny 0.1%. These moves of course follow a 2.0% fall on Wall Street overnight.
