NIKKEI	AUSTRALIA	SHANGHAI	HANG SENG

Kyoto thanks as I use your links to the market reports every morning.

Greystone have been watching the Dow these past days of market jitters and noticed that it falls in the last half hour of trading, just nerves and uncertainty I guess. Only Tuesday when it was well in the blue did it hold up well in the last half hour too. I am still largely in cash.


Edit: Morning All (sorry forgot my manners!)

Good morning traders!

In Asia today, the Nikkei closed up 325.69 points at 17,090.31 and the Hang Seng
ended the morning ahead 122.97 points at 19,041.61.

New York Mercantile Exchange's main oil futures contract, light sweet crude for
delivery in April, was up 11 cents at $61.93 a barrel from $61.82 in late trading in
the US overnight.

Happy trading!
