  1. At approx. 10:39pm EST the HSI contract spiked up about 1.5% - into positive territory - before immed. falling back.

    Anybody know what happened or got caught up in it?
     
  2. The Asian markets can be crazy.... very crazy!

    Is Tokyo closed today? The Nikkei does not seem to be trading.
     
  3. THe HSI is a monthly contract. Everyone has rolled over into the May contract.

    You're looking at the April contract. Someone closed out a big position about a day late. The lack of liquidity caused the spike.
