Markets down as Hurricane Sandy shuts Wall Street
World markets came under pressure today as Hurricane Sandy forced Wall Street to shut down for the first time since the September 11 attacks.
Investors struggled to find direction after it was confirmed that America's two biggest trading platforms - the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market - would not open as scheduled this afternoon.
The markets - home to some of the world's biggest companies including Apple, Microsoft and Starbucks - also look set to be closed tomorrow, while commentators fear the suspension could run into Wednesday.
