Asia's Hurting

Following a bleak day today in American markets, the Asian markets are falling strongly. For example the Korea KOSPI index is down 5%, the Nikkei 225 is down 4.2%, etc. Things should continue to deteorate and won't get much better unless blockbuster news hits the markets.

US equity futures are around 30 points above fair value in early futures trading.
