The Asian/Pacific markets leaned to the downside. Japan and China did well; South Korea, Austria, Malaysia and Indonesia were weak. Europe, Africa and the Middle East currently lean to the downside too. Saudi Arabia is up, but the UK, Poland, Germany, the UAE, Russia and South Africa are down. Futures in the States point towards a down open for the cash market.
