10. Book: Kissinger: 1923 – 1968: The Idealist by Neill Ferguson

9. Music: Clifford Brown and Max Roach Quintet playing Joy Spring.

8. Bitcoin: Curious stubborn trend higher as ETF fever appears to be creating bets on perceived ‘forced’ upwards momentum. BTC/USD now above 38,000.00.

1. U.S Indices: Dow Jones Industrials touching highs not seen since January 2022. S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite within sight of July 2023 apex levels, and if penetrated upwards would also bring these indices to heights of late 2021 and early 2022, this as risk appetite demonstrates backbone.
