When is the best time to get the stock index?

I need to do a daily stock-watch report at 4pm Bangkok time, but the indices change so often. My boss told me to get the index at the closest closing time. Do you have any information on these indices? Nikkei 225. Topix. Hang Seng. CSI 300 Taiex. S&P/ASX 200 MSCI Asia Paciffic Dow Johns. NASDAQ.

  1. You can get most of them at Yahoo finance; click the market stats tab, then 'world', and then asia pacific.
  2. Considering that the markets you mention do have different hours, I'd recommend picking them up early enough for you to get your report done on time. So if your report's due at 2pm. Perhaps get the prices at 12 each day to have a consistent reporting period. Now if he/she wants the closing price for each index, you could always say prices are as of xxx pm. and then the next day you can update any prices of any indexes that were still trading. For most of the Asian markets, a local website will probably give you a bit better info than most US sites. For Dow and Nasdaq, you can use finance.yahoo.com. Both prices will come up on that page. Hope that helps!
