Overnight round-up and day ahead: "ASX Today: Soft start as Russia tensions crush risk appetite"
Breakfast
There are some weird and wonderful national holidays out there. Today is the 'Day of Diplomatic Staff of Turkmenistan'. I have no idea what the diplomats of that fine nation have done to earn this honour, but they must do a damn fine job. Or have friends in high places. Okay, it's the second one. I couldn't find any pictures I could conclusively call breakfast, so we'll have have to make do with this collection of local delicacies.
