Markets Are Falling Around The World

Joe Weisenthal

The week begins weak.

Markets are falling around the world, especially in Europe, where major indices in Italy and Germany are off about 1%. In France, the CAC-40 is off 0.5%.

This follow on weakness overnight in Asia, where the Nikkei lost 0.8% and the Shanghai Composite lost 0.64%.

In the US, futures are off about 0.5%. We'll take this moment to remind you that the worst day all year has been a 0.69% decline, so just a 0.5% fall would put us near that level.
