European markets showed very healthy gains overnight.
The FTSE rose 25 points (.31%), the DAX rose 310 points (1.56%) and the CAC rose 163 points (2.24%).
Rises in Germany and France are quite surprising given the political uncertainty and the threat to the European automotive industries with the prospect of US Tariffs - and Germany's car industry is already in trouble.
US markets were mixed.
The DOW fell 25 points (.06%), the NBI fell 9 points (.21%), the NASDAQ Composite rose 243 points and the Rusell small cap index fell 1 point (.08%).
US markets were all up but fell in the last two hours of trade.
Chip makers surged and that is reflected in the good gain in the NASDAQ Composite.
BITCOIN surged by 4% to be over US$100k.
US Treasury 10 year bond yield showed a continued rise - now at 4.622%
The oil price kept most of its gains - Brent crude at US$76.27 per barrel.
The gold price sits at US$2,636 per oz.
BITCOIN is at US$102,223.
