Japanese Stock Market Opens ... Down but no panic ...

[Azt]

Just sharing the info that the Japanese stock market (NIKKEI) is already in 2 hours trading and down about 2.6% (as I write), down but no panic (yet) due to currencies shocks (a.k.a doom scenario).

You can see the live Nikkei stock market feed at http://www.investing.com/indices/japan-ni225

and the dollar vs. yen here:

Let`s see how it goes until the end of the day.

American stock futures are actually up a bit around .2%. A bounce from here would be normal. The next leg down will tell if this sell off has the momentum to carry us lower.

Just another day in the asian markets..

worst case scenario is that the market goes down another 5% this week. But that's it, no gloom and doom. the bull run will continue after that.
