brace for #4
しつこいようですが，今，アメリカの各種メディアではbrace forという見出しがおどっています。さほど猛烈なハリケーンというわけです（と言っても，１ヶ月前に愛知県に上陸した台風と同じ規模だそうです。）。（UG）
Bracing for Storm, U.S. Stock Markets to Close
All United States stock and options markets will close on Monday as Hurricane Sandy approaches, reversing course as Wall Street braces for the storm to barrel through the heart of the country’s financial center.
The decision, made late Sunday night, leaves the American stock markets closed for weather conditions for the first time in nearly three decades. The New York Stock Exchange had previously planned on closing only its physical trading floor, while allowing for trading on its Arca electronic exchange. It has now decided to halt all trading.
The Nasdaq and BATS stock markets, which are built on electronic trading, also decided to close. The CME Group, which operates the Nymex commodities exchange, said that it would halt trading on its physical commodities floor and on its electronic stock futures and options exchanges.
