Nikkei is closed today for holiday (see list above), but the other Asian markets are all going gangbusters overnight- ALL up between 1/2% and 1%
the I fund going to take a big hit tomorrow-
the Japanese Nikkei 225 just opened, and is now down 5% in the first eleven minutes of stock trading.

Nikkei 225 now down 531.78 points, (-5.19%), at 9,713.68 as I write this.
The Nikkei 225 ended up down -6.18% last night.
Bad day for the I fund today. The Nikkei 225 makes up almost 25% of the I fund value.
