Asian markets open amid escalating concern over U.S. debt talks

U.S. officials and investors around the world are watching to see how stock exchanges in Tokyo and Sydney will react to the impasse in debt negotiations as weekday trading begins at 8:00 p.m. Eastern time. Other prominent markets, including those in Hong Kong and Shanghai, are to open shortly. With the prospect of a U.S. default on August 2nd only nine days away, President Obama and Congress remain deadlocked over a plan for raising the federal debt limit.
