Equities are higher this morning thanks to a resilient Asian session despite another US sell-off. The Oil price has given up more ground with Brent now below $50/barrel after the UAE Oil minister said the supply glut could last months/years. Expectations are also for a rise in US Crude inventories this afternoon and the USD remains strong ahead of the Fed minutes this evening.
Concerns over the Greek election result and its remaining in the Euro persist although Eurozone worries appeased by better German Retail sales and unemployment.
