The last couple of hours in US markets heavily influenced Asia’s opening despite signs of DOW futures stability. Technology was hit hardest and continues to lead much of the move around the globe.

Having seen a weak US session most Asian indices opened in the red. However, that was not to last and most recovered by the close. The SENSEX took less than an hour before it was trading positive whilst the ASX and Nikkei never actually managed a recovery. The key sector that has led the […]
