Good afternoon
German business confidence slipped marginally from a 20-year or so high.
Housing Starts and Building permits in the US pretty strong today.
Metals largely unchanged today.
Lithium stocks in Australia have gone a bit berserk the last few days, after Orocobre reported to be nearly sold out at increased prices for the first half of 2018. Some of the battery stocks are getting a little pricy, I think - but I guess everybody wants to show some positions in the sector for the 31st of December. We might see some exhuberance - don´t forget to let a few go.
I fear there is not much more to report for today - it´s getting very much Christmas!
