NIKKEI futures getting slaughtered.

Well, one market that is open is the currency market. EUR:JPY is trading down again, and, unless it reverses, the trend most likely for indexes around the world is down.
 
Osaka N225 JNIZ8 Friday close 7620
Globex NKD NKDZ8 Friday close 7550

Nikkei indicating -70 is how I would call it for tonight. Caveat - works better on weekdays when only 3 hours or so separates US close from Osaka open.

Don't know about you guys, but I find Bloomberg's site to be a bit off on their numbers.

yes agreed.

Ex.
SP500 low shows 835 I don't think it broke 840 Friday.

It looks Nikkei Dec futures closed 7620 -- I don't know where those Bloomberg numbers are from... must be bad data over w/e
 
Trader 5287, that seems right because the ES futures ask/bid shows a midpoint of about 1 full point below Friday's closing price for the ES contract. That's not a big dip at all.

My point it, I don't think we're going to see the Asian markets gap down 5%+, they may close in that territory, but I don't think we're going to get an opening shock. Especially not based on Bloomberg's futures numbers.

Oh yes, you are correct - barring negative weekend newsflows.

During the US day on Friday N225 indicated up as much as + 350 to + 400 the way I do it (recall that they really sold off Thursday night - something like -1100 or -1300 I think)
