This has been going on for about three weeks.
Check it out: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ACWX&ql=1
That page will show N/A for the Open price. A portfolio page will show 0.00 for the Open price.
Clearly, at least the Open price is missing. Sometimes, more is missing or incorrect. But that's not all.
What isn't obvious is that the date is incorrect. That's not obvious because all that is shown in the quote table is time, not the full date. If you do a data Query then you always -- and I do mean always -- get the previous trading date for the current date. For you Yahoo programmers, that's not the way it's supposed to be done. You Yahoos can't be mixing yesterday's date with today's intra-day data. Further, the data is worthless unless all the data is there.
Portfolio pages will have the same problem. A portfolio only shows time, not date, in the table. I have a portfolio (of many symbols) that I Query every day. Currently, all symbols except ACWX will have the correct date and complete OHLC data.
Fix it Yahoo, and try to keep it working correctly for more than a few days. Continually creating bugs in your financial data system is not job security.

Jeraldo, you are correct. Yahoo Finance is totally screwed up on this one and virtually on every other index as well. It looks like that the Yahoo programmers fiddle with stuff that works perfectly fine until it is totally out of whack. It almost appears to be a job security scam for programmers.
Until they fix this problem use one of their competitors (Big Charts by MarketWatch) where you can get all charts correctly and under the historical quotes you can also get the all details for any one day. Unfortunately I have not yet figured out how to get a table of all data for a specified period on one page. But is better than nothing or the outright false data as now found on many of these Yahoo pages.

Jeraldo,
I have reported the missing data for (ACWX) and the date to our engineers. I have also shared the additional information with regards to our portfolios. I appreciate you providing these details.
Although I cannot give you an estimated time as to when we'll see an update or changes, I have forwarded your request to the appropriate people.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
