The shortest day of the year for those of us in the northern hemisphere and equity markets took the shortcut home as well with little moves on Tuesday. The Bank of Japan (BoJ) provided some early excitement but by the close, equity markets were little changed on Tuesday. The situation looks a little more promising on Wednesday morning as European equities move higher on the back of US Treasury bond yields taking things down a notch or two. But overall volumes and volatility remain thin as we approach the end of the trading year.
The US Dollar is flat at 104 while Gold price is hanging onto yesterday's gains at $1,815. Bitcoin price is at $16,840.
European markets are higher, Eurostoxx, FTSE and Dax all up 1%.
US futures also higher, Dow and Nasdaq +1% and S&P +0.8%.
