After a big move on Friday, it can be good to check in with the first markets to open on Monday…? That would be the Nikkei, Shanghai and Aussie exchanges…

Bloomberg’s website typically has good international coverage.? Outside of US trading hours, they typically feature prices from Japan or Europe…

Yahoo Finance has a decent page that lists all the exchanges for Asia, the Americas, and Europe.? Obviously, Asia opens before the US markets, and Europe continues to trade after the US markets close.

So, how are these markets doing right now?? Badly.? The Nikkei is down over 3% to start the day (it is 11:30 am in Tokyo).? Not too surprising considering the shellacking that the US markets took on Friday…? We could see a bumpy start to the new week if that’s any indication.
