What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorInvesting.com reports the FTSE 100 is rising as a U.S. tech rally outweighs Iran war risk. Skip Waverly is live in London. Skip?

  2. Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentHank, I'm outside the London Stock Exchange at three forty-four in the morning! Per Investing.com, tech strength is cutting safe-haven demand.

  3. Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentNobody's here but me and a pigeon in a tiny hi-vis vest.

  4. Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentSecurity says I'm on private property. I said it's a story. He said it's a bin.

  5. Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentI'm standing in front of a bin, Hank, but I'm choosing to see a desk.

  6. Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentSir, you're up before dawn. Does a tech rally beating war worries make any sense to you?

  7. Colin MarshI deliver bread, love. All I know is the market's like my uncle Trevor: confident, loud, and absolutely not checking the news.

  8. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThank you, Skip. Please do not take the bin's job. Investing.com says the rally is broad. We will keep watching London.
