Dex, I like to wait for ASX futures trade to finish (temporarily) at 7 am so I can give that closing number. I think it's the most important figure for planning for the session.
As you not, Wall Street closes at 6 am AEST from this week (following the end of Daylight Saving over the weekend in the states that observe it), but the ASX for some reason allows another hour of futures trade. Dunno why, but it gives me the chance to go for a run or walk the dog before settling in front of the computer.
