The Nikkei was down another 5.25% percent last night, the Japanese are really taking a big hit and since Japan holds a large amount of our debt I believe this situation bears watching.

Very surprizing that seems to have been limited mostly to their market. I really expected it to move across to other markets as well.

Nikkei was down 3.83% in overnight trading. Starting to see a trend in one of the worlds major financial markets and it isn't a positive trend.
