Recovery came to Asian markets but something tells us that the recent numbers are not going to stock for a long time as we have seen this dance before already. Europe is also recovering which is odd, considering the fact that Angela Merkel stunned the markets with her decision to leave politics in 2021.

S&P 500 futures advanced 0.6 percent.

Topix rose 1.4 percent.

Kospi gained 0.9 percent.

Hang Seng lost 0.7 percent.

MSCI Asia Pacific rose 0.5 percent.

Stoxx Europe 600 gained 0.2 percent.

FTSE 100 added 0.2 percent.

DAX surged by 0.4 percent.

MSCI Emerging market lost 0.2 percent hitting the lowest level in 20 months.

Currencies are smothered under a greenback that rose by 0.6 percent yesterday and is continuing the climb. Euro in the other hand is squished between the growing dollar and Merkel’s decision to leave. Pound retreats as well.
