• The Nikkei is +1.7% to 15859, its highest close in six years. However, Hong Kong -1.1%, Shanghai -1% and India -0.7%.
• EU Stoxx 50 +1.6%, London +0.8%, Paris +1.3%, Frankfurt +1.4%, Milan +1.3%, Madrid +1.8%.
• U.S. stock futures are lower after Wall Street enjoyed more record highs yesterday.
• Dow -0.1%, S&P -0.2% and Nasdaq -0.2%
