How many of these stock indices close higher on Wednesday, August 19?

Settled as 4 close higher

Four wound up closing higher for the day:
DJIA (+0.66), NASDAQ (+0.68%), TSX (0.12%), and the FTSE (0.08%)

The other five lost ground, ranging from a very slight 0.01% (-0.35 points) from CAC to a 1.73% (-352.04) loss from Hang Seng..

Background:

Background: As many of you know, I track 9 different stock indices every day for Hubdub settlements. On Monday, all 9 opened lower! AND ON MONDAY ALL NINE ALSO CLOSED LOWER! Then Tuesday, after a mixed opening, ALL NINE CLOSED HIGHER!

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

Question is based on the closing 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?

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source.
