I'm on holiday in a ski resort in the Austrian alps. This means I have no time to read any in-depth market commentary, instead, I am glancing at twitter and headlines that are depressingly dominated by the old 'x happened as y happened' implied correlations.
So here are my own equally honest, but equally unuseful, ones describing today -
**European futures fall pre-market as tourist heard mumbling "Oh God, do I have to get up now?"**
**European equities rally on the open as porridge and coffee consumption rises.**
**US futures mirror European gains as ski boots tighten.**
**Oil falls as blazing sunshine lights up mountain tops.**
**USD/JPY rallies as snow conditions judged near perfect.**
**Turkish Lira weakens as hot chocolate and brandy sales rise.**
**Copper falls as multiple tight parallel turns impress.**
**Rio Tinto rallies as Woah, sorry mate, are you OK?**
**Gold falls as I think I’ve pulled something.**
**VIX loses ground as it's decided to have an early lunch.**
**Greek borrowing costs rise as wine, beer and pizza sales spike.**
**Austrian inflation much higher than expected as bill arrives.**
**US futures extend rallies as debate over where to go next continues.**
**USD/RUB higher as UK/Russian relations thaw on chairlift.**
**Italian stocks steady as disagreements break out as to whether you said take the red run after the pylon or turn right down the black back to the valley.**
**USD/MXN extends gains as he must be here soon, he can’t have got lost can he?**
**US treasuries slip as I do.**
**Zinc up as laughter breaks out.**
**Chicken consumption falls as thighs ache.**
**Bitcoin goes up as skiers go down.**
**Schaeuble says "We don't want to punish the British for Brexit” as British order Jagermeister and tequila yet state 'No, seriously, I'm not drinking that whatever it is’.**
**BTPs recover as ski boots discovered to be perfect dance shoes.**
**Mindspace falls in extended hours.**
**Markets close heavy as it can’t be 10pm already, can it?**
**Sterling rallies as loss of wallet is expected to restrict overseas spending**

Be generous with the tip in Ischgl. The poor girls dancing on the table have no money for clothes.
Anon. It would indeed appear to be that way. Have to say Ischgl makes St.Anton look like a student apartment. Great restaurants and on the whole much more classy.
