🚀 European indices rally over 2%

Indices rally with US yields dropping below 3.6%

Upbeat moods can be spotted all across the Old Continent on Tuesday with major stock market indices from Europe trading over 2% higher at press time. This comes after a solid Wall Street and Asian session, which saw major indices from those regions trade 2-3% higher as well.

Improvement in moods on the stock market is accompanied by drop in yields, with 10-year market rate dropping below 3.60%. A factor that may also be contributing to easing of market tensions is that we are past quarter's end, a period that often sees significant rebalancing flows from investment funds. Markets, at least for now, look past worrying media reports from the banking sector, that hint at a possibility of a failure of a global bank (Credit Suisse).
