Foreign Stock Market Symbols

For those of you interested in tracking foreign stock markets, here are the StockCharts.com symbols for selected markets (those usually reported on CNBC and Bloomberg):

$AORD - All Ordinaries Index (Australia)
$CAC - Paris CAC Courant
$DAX - German DAX Composite
$FTSE - London Financial Times Index (England)
$HSI - Hang Seng Index (Hong Kong)
$NIKK - Tokyo Nikkei Average (Japan)

Note: the behavior of these indexes will generally be diferent from country ETFs (for example the Japan ETF is EWJ, which behaves differently from $NIKK)
