Donald Trump says he\u2019s having a meeting with Xi and the stock market goes into the stratosphere! Then XI confirms, and its joy unlimited across markets.

Spectacular gains y\u2019day taking the 10-year Bund rate to -0.33% after Mario Draghi talked about immediately lower rates, reopening QE and using all the unused A380s Superjumbos to drop wads of money across Yoorp.

The only positives I could garner was Boris has been stripped of his personality, and Sajid Javid came across measured and even polite. I\u2019d vote for him, but we will never get the chance because most of us are too sensible, young, clever, to be members of the party\u2026 Meanwhile, Corbyn looks likely to accept Labour policy will pivot towards a second referendum\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blain\u2019s Morning Porridge \u00a0&#8211; June 19th 2019 \u201cYou cannot be serious&#8230;\u201d Check out the new Edition of Property Chronicle:&nbsp;https:\/\/vimeo.com\/342064460&nbsp; Oh dear..
