One market watcher said that nothing can stop the "bear run in October."

"The bear runs especially fast in October," Dickie Wong, executive director at Kingston Securities, told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Thursday, with "market routs everywhere." He added that the Hang Seng index could "continue to test new low."

Meanwhile, Japan's Nikkei 225 fell 3.72 percent to close at 21,268.73 while the Topix index was down 3.1 percent to end the trading day at 1,600.92.

World economy , and this is all because of trump and the white nationalist party they are members of now. Their policies will hurt everyone by taking trillions out of the economy by enriching the wealthiest even more now. Add the trump tariffs , Nafta changes , and more and prices are going to go straight up on most goods . Cars will jump up $3,000 - $8,000 in costs , and some car companies will move more outside this country away from him, and some will fold. The question remains , is trump doing this for putin because he's compromised? Intentionally damaging our economy for him for revenge against what has been done to them?
