Since couple of weeks I had a weired issue with the iPhone. The stocks gadget or application powered by Yahoo! Finance always shows “Markets Closed” for almost all the day from morning to evening (atleast I started noticing it from 9.00 AM PST)
So, I sent a mail to finance team today to confirm this, and I received a immediate attention and after digging in to this; they were able to isolate the issue..may be its a known issue to them…The reason is; since Alibaba started trading in Hong Kong Exchange; I had that symbol 1688.HK in my porpolio; even though rest of them are all NASDAQ traded… So, if you have any international stock symbol in your list; you may see the same problem irrespective of rest of the stocks trading time.
Looks like they will fix this as soon as possible; but am not very sure if its Yahoo! specific issue or Apple one.
Do you reckon there are regionalised apps for the iphone in the UK, Germany etc.
Currently my touch (which I’ve copied the “Stocks” app on to) says markets closed during all non-US trading hours.
I’ve tried putting the FTSE in position 1 on the list, but still it follows US market time. Also makes no difference if I have a london listed company selected.
[Also 1 day charts sometimes have problems when the US is not open, so I assume the app is hitting something that is expecting US ‘focused’ requests.]
