What's up with the South African markets, the ALSI should be 800 points higher relative to the Dow?

Wait for closing auction.

Wait for the Dow to drop or for the ALSI to catch up at the end of the day?

[Preston]

Volume is so thin. Only at closing auction, the JSE steps in to rectify the situation.

10k on ALSI...

How can the JSE rectify 800 point? Big boo for Santa's rally.

Excuse the ignorance and if it is not a trade secret,how does one calculate the relativity of the ALSI to the DOW? This looks like essential info for ALSI traders. Your time and effort will be much appreciated.

there is no trade secret...its just a guessing game. the DOW may close strong overnight....but ALSI will be down today because ASIAN markets may be down or because DOW may be down on the days open.....overall it depends on your time frame....15 min ALSI will follow 15 MIN FTSE or S&P futures or DOW futures....its the same info you will see on the 15 MIN ALSI so just look at the 15 min ALSI

On the 30/11/2011 the Dow was at this level and the ALSI was 800 points higher.
