...Thursday brought dreaded confirmation that markets look set to remain in tank mode until they find reason for taking heart anew. In addition to the 11.4% slump of Nikkei - its biggest single-day drop since the October, 1987 crash - trading Thursday elsewhere in Asia pushed Hong Kong's Hang Seng down 4.8%, South Korea's down 9.44%, and Singapore Straights Times Index down 5.5%.
