Now seesawing a little, market is at 8300.87 points.
Yen has soared to 97 Yen to the dollar. Sheesh it was something like 105 Yen to the Dollar just over a week or two ago. Amazing shifts going on right now folks.

Could any of this be because of Obama’s position in the polls?

Is there a circuit-breaker to halt trading?

no “old data”, but maybe two minutes off of what you have. this is a human word processing here. it takes some time to read the charts in Japanese real time, translate it in my head, and then post it up on FR, double check the facts to make sure it is not erroneous. that is about as fast as your gonna git it.

Well, while most of the attention out there is justifiably focused on the dramatic events of recent days in the financial markets, the real economy is where the impact of what is happening all ends up, and news on this from in Japan continues to be pretty bleak.
Today we learnt that a key barometer of corporate capital spending in Japan plunged in August to its lowest level in more than five years, as business investment retreated sharply amid fears of a broader global slowdown.
Core private sector machinery orders, which exclude often-volatile orders from electric power firms and shipbuilders, fell 14.5 percent from the previous month to 891.7 billion yen ($8.9 billion) — the lowest value since April 2003.
The result marked the third straight month of declines and was far worse than the 3.3 percent drop forecast by Kyodo news agency.
The figures, considered an important gauge of business investment in the future, add to concerns that the sluggish exports performance in recent months is plunging the world's second-largest economy back into what looks to be a pretty nasty recession.
