In the US, housing starts rose in April from March but are still lower than year-ago levels, and that year-ago standard is not high. Overnight European markets fell -0.7% except London which fell -0.1%. The Kiwi dollar starts today with a slight easing from yesterday at just on 61.2 USc. That all means our TWI-5 starts today just on 70.2 and little-changed from yesterday. The bitcoin price starts today at US$64,946 down a very minor -0.2% from this time yesterday.
