Will the market optimism continue? While Europe slept, Asian markets climbed on the news of a Europe deal (thanks Germany) - the eurozone's bailout fund rises to €1 trillion married to a 50% 'haircut' for private investors. Japan's Nikkei 225 climbed 0.5% while Hong Kong's Hang Seng index rose almost 1.3%. Yesterday, the FTSE 100 finished 28 points up at 5,553. So, expect more optimism today.
