CNBC Asia Ticker
CNBC Asia also uses a two-line ticker of similar design to the Europe ticker.
Early in the morning, the top bar features the listed stocks from major market indexes (e.g. DOW 30, FTSE 100) around the world. As the Asian trading day kicks in, the top bar generally provides the most actively traded shares in the region where each country's stock data will be reflected once its market opens. Exceptions to this are in CNBC's Hong Kong, Singapore and Australian feeds where the top bar exclusively features stock information for their respective local stock markets. The bottom bar provides market indices, currencies, bonds and commodity prices.
From 20.00 until 06.00 HK/SIN time, CNBC Asia simulates the old CNBC US ticker (i.e. the one displaying the stock symbols only) with no Commodity Summary.
The information for this ticker is also provided by Thomson Reuters.
Like CNBC US and CNBC Europe, CNBC Asia also keeps its ticker shown on the screen during commercial breaks. It has been doing this since 2001.

Famous quotes containing the words asia and/or ticker:
“I believe that the fundamental proposition is that we must recognize that the hostilities in Europe, in Africa, and in Asia are all parts of a single world conflict. We must, consequently, recognize that our interests are menaced both in Europe and in the Far East.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“Most people aren’t appreciated enough, and the bravest things we do in our lives are usually known only to ourselves. No one throws ticker tape on the man who chose to be faithful to his wife, on the lawyer who didn’t take the drug money, or the daughter who held her tongue again and again. All this anonymous heroism.”
—Peggy Noonan (b. 1950)
