Crude oil gained 1.4% reaching $61.05 per barrel.

Asia and Australia

Stocks were mixed as investors brushed off their concerns about the rising US inflation and focused on the global economic recovery.

HongKong45 rose 0.96%.

Down under, Australia200 rose 0.32%.

 

Europe

The rise of European stocks was sustained by falling US bond yields, as the inflation concerns eased after March’s CPI data. Moreover, companies from the luxury sector impressed with their quarterly figures. Germany30 and UK100 each gained 0.1%. France40 rose 0.3%.

Brent oil rose 1.3% to $64.48 a barrel.
