Equity Futures Update

Since the US markets are closed I have been checking the US equity futures throughout the day (so much for a relaxing 3 day weekend) and now have the latest update. These numbers are about 15 minutes behind but at least they give an idea of where things are headed. At the moment they are getting worse. I have not seen percentage drops in the equity futures like this since 2002. The stats are from the Bloomberg web site at:

Dow Futures = -514 or -4.25%

S & P 500 Futures = -60.20 or -4.54%

Nasdaq Futures = -76.00 or -4.11%
