Markets Rise--Ignore Korea And EU

Markets across the world mostly rose. They ignored potential trouble from succession issues in North Korea and a spread of the eurozone debt problem. North Korea seems stable for now. A new IMF facility to help the eurozone is too small, but a start.

The Nikkei 225 was up .49% to 8,336. The Hang Seng rose .o6% to 18,080

Just after the open in Europe, the FTSE 100 was up .06% to 5,367. The DAX was up 1.06% to 5,732.

According to MarketWatch

 European stock markets moved mostly higher on Tuesday, shaking off earlier losses after a German business-sentiment survey surpassed expectations. Falling shares of AstraZeneca PLC kept the drug sector under pressure.

The financial site said share of Deutsche Telekom fell after AT&T (NYSE: T) killed a deal to buy DT’s US T-Mobile operation.

The strength of markets in Asia and Europe are likely to influence a positive open in the US
