It certainly seems so - the world is definitely on a positive bias.
The overnight American Indices broke significant levels, giving every indication the markets were happy. The S&P Index crossed 1000 - first time since November 2008 and the Nasdaq went over 2000 - first time since October 2008.
English FTSE, French CAC and the German DAX registered healthy agains yesterday. Our own Sensex and Nifty back home were up.
Commodities too went up. Crude oil crossed the $70 per barrel mark once again while copper too was trading high.
The general consensus is that the positive sentiment is due to better than expected manufacturing numbers and solid earning results. Hope the boost in sentiment continues as more and more economic numbers come out - hopefully positive.
GoodInitiative. Please keep it going.
