In the 24 hour market cycle, it is now Asia's turn to head south.

Thanks Mike, Taking cue from Wall street Asian stocks plunged today deeply led by an unprecedented 10 per cent drop in Tokyo stock exchange. Panic selling seems to have returned in Wall street and Asian market are following the cue. Growing fears of a global recession left Indian market in red. Now all eyes are on the Indian and European markets.
