Sell-off on Asia

Enquanto o mercado procura razões para ir ao trabalho amanhã, o operadores da Ásia sofrem nesta manhã. Veja abaixo em Inglês:

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- Asian markets fell sharply again Tuesday after deep losses on Wall Street, with Japanese stocks suffering a sell-off as exporters like Canon Inc. were hit hard by a strengthened yen, and while resource stocks like Woodside Petroleum shrank after crude-oil prices tumbled overnight.
The Nikkei 225 Average dropped below the 10,000-point level for the first time since December 2003, moving as low as 9,916.21 during the session before recovering. The Average was down 3.3% at 10,125.67 in midmorning trade, while the broader Topix index lost 3.5% to 963.87.
Both benchmarks took losses into a fourth straight session, as investors were gripped by nervousness over the spreading malaise in the global credit markets and doubts about the effectiveness of the U.S. government's $700 billion financial-sector bailout.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 lost 2.3% to 4,435.70, and South Korea's Kospi shed 1.4% to 1,339.52. New Zealand's NZX 50 index gave up 2.6% to 2,968.65, dropping below the psychologically-important 3,000-point level for the first time since June 2005.

A continuar assim, teremos novas emoções amanhã aqui no Brasil.
