Stock Market Meltdown – a brief look at Monday’s market openings

Markets everywhere are taking a beating. During the start of Monday’s trading session, everywhere from Toronto to New York, from Shanghai to Berlin, just completely obliterated. With a dwindling amount of quantitative easing money seeping into markets, we’re probably going to see more of this moving forward.

Here is just a brief glimpse at some of the stock markets and how much they’re collapsing during this global selloff (at the time of this writing):

Dow Jones: down 400 points

NASDAQ: down 142 points

S&P 500: down 55 points

Toronto Stock Exchange: down 500 points

Nikkei: down 900 points

Shanghai Composite Index: down 300 points

Hang Seng Index: down 1,150 points

Dax: down 574 points

FTSE: down 330 points

CAC 40: down 300 points

Gold, meanwhile, is trading in positive territory at $1,163.
