US existing home sales rose marginally back to an annual sales rate of 4 mln which it was last at in August 2023. In Germany things contracted harder, but for the EU overall their services sector is no longer contracting, helping keep things stable. In India, they are in a quite different space with manufacturing expanding strongly, and their services sector doing even better. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just over 71.3. The bitcoin price starts today at US$51,432 and essentially unchanged from this time yesterday.
