>>> What to look at today - 7th of June 2018

A global stocks rally extended its run in Asia Thursday on confidence the global economic expansion remains intact and continuing momentum in U.S. technology shares. Treasuries held losses, with 10-year yields just under 3 percent.
Equities gained from Tokyo to Sydney and U.S. and European futures climbed. That came after the S&P 500 Index rose for a fourth consecutive day and the Nasdaq Composite Index chalked up another record high. The dollar slipped, on course to fall for a third day out of four. The euro was poised for its fourth consecutive gain amid talk of an end to the European Central Bank’s quantitative easing program.
