The world's markets never all close at once. When New York goes home, Sydney and Tokyo are opening. When Asia winds down, London and Frankfurt take over.
Global Market Now follows that day as it moves. We cover each session, Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Americas, as it happens, with a plain-English take on what moved markets and why, and what the next region should watch.
