Overnight round-up and day ahead: "ASX Today: Flat start as market tries to find a floor"
Breakfast
Only in Europe would people get a day off to celebrate a riot. The Channel Island of Jersey has a public holiday today to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Corn Riots, when a mob of islanders stormed the Royal Court to complain about a food shortage. The event led to legislative changes that gave the island greater autonomy. We're having room service at the Mornington Hotel in St Helier: a continental platter with ham and cheese, croissants, Jersey yogurt and toast with lashings of Jersey butter. Not sure about the bedspread.
