| July 06, 2010 | | Spread bets and CFDs on world markets | Global stock indices are rallying today, heading higher following a disappointing week. Yesterday was a slow day with U.S. markets closed, but spread betting and contracts for differences should consider that investors appear ready to enjoy a little bullishness today.
Asian equities closed higher today, with markets gaining across the board. European markets are also higher today. Even with some concerns about European bank stress tests, European stock indices are higher. The FTSE 100 is higher as well, with gains surpassing 100 points as the trading day moves toward a close.
In the U.S., the bullish equity news is helping matters as the stock market opens significantly higher. It appears that everyone is trying to forget what happened at the end of June, and is ready to start July off right.
