- Nikkei 225 stock average fell 2.5%
- The Hang Seng index in Hong Kong down 3.3%
- S&P/ASX 200 index in Sydney declined 1.4%
- In London morning trading, the FTSE 100 index was down 2.7%
- DJ Euro Stoxx 50 index, of euro zone blue chips, fell 2.3%
- DAX in Frankfurt fell 2.4%
- CAC 40 in Paris sank 2.4%
