Spirits are at top in the global equity markets. The stock rates whiz in the air, and in several places the one record follows the other. The development follows a 2012, which was also an almost terrific year for equities where market prices in general increased by 22 percent. So it has been a good investment to put your savings in stocks in recent years.

Bonds: Calm winds on interest-front
There was relatively quiet on the bond markets in Europe Tuesday, where a lack of news and remain closed trading in the U.S. meant very little fluctuation in interest rates.
Spain's economic growth lagged not quite as much as economists feared in the third quarter. Growth in gross domestic product, GDP, was Tuesday morning amounted to minus 1.6 percent in the third quarter compared with the same period last year. Economists had expected a decline of 1.7 percent, which was in line with data earlier this month from the Bank of Spain.

Bonds: Spanish messages turned the picture
Bond dealers were almost gone for the weekend before Friday's trade. In any case, there were close to absolute rest on a trading day, which was marked by cautious buying almost across the board.
This resulted in a slight decline in interest rates in both South and North Europe most of the day, but new reports that Spain has not intend to seek official help for its pressed banking sector reversed the picture in Spain and Italy, which ended with small increases in interest rates.

Bonds: Interest rate increase after job report
Bond yields in Northern Europe was Friday sent up by surprisingly good U.S. job figures, which were as expected in September but contained upward revisions of the previous two months' figures. It sent investors to back the tables to turn up the knob that controls the "risk-on". This gave rise in stock markets, rising interest rates in the safe countries and declining yields in riskier countries from southern Europe.
