How many of these stock indices close higher on Tuesday, August 18?

Settled as All nine close higher

Even though all nine didn't open higher, all nine did close higher, ranging from 0.84% for HSI to 1.35% for TSX

Background:

Background: As many of you know, I track 9 different stock indices every day for Hubdub settlements. Yesterday, all 9 opened lower! AND ALL NINE ALSO CLOSED LOWER! This definitely doesn't happen too often.

So how many will close higher at the end of trading for Tuesday.

Question is based on the opening marks of these indices:
DJIA (New York), NASDAQ (New York), TSX (Toronto), FTSE 100 (London), DAX (Frankfurt), CAC 40 (Paris), BSE/Sensex (Mumbai or Bombay), Hang Seng (Hong Kong), and Nikkei (Tokyo).

Question will suspend tomorrow morning Before the last six close, just after the North American markets open. So the outcome will not necessarily be certain, and it will allow play throughout Europe and the US, as well as some of our Asian and Australian players.

So how will they do by the end of the day?
