That would imply that traders haven't even bothered to keep up with the weekend news. Do you really think they are that careless? if so, why do you pay any attention whatsoever to the prices they set?

FWIW, by now, the DJIA future is now at 15,084.00 (-91). So about 0.6% down, which is volatile, but not a disaster. European markets are pretty level, compared to the Friday close http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business/ (London up 0.15%, Frankfurt down 0.08%, Paris down 0.03%).
