This morning saw a 30 point increase following the yesterday's news with investors' concerns about exposure to the Irish crisis allayed somewhat, but as more details of the rescue filtered through the initial rush of confidence wore off and stocks slipped back by 5.3 points. While the good news didn't last long for the FTSE, commodities prices stayed strong and futures trading suggested the Dow Jones could creep modestly higher.
