 Hi, everybody. It is just after 8.30 in the morning in Hong Kong. I'm Brian Curtis. And I'm Doug Krisner at the Bloomberg Interactive Broker Studio in New York. We had mild positivity stateside. It was enough to send both the S&P and the Nasdaq to record highs. And we've got positivity right now and early action on the equity side in Tokyo, Sydney, and Seoul. We'll take a closer look for you in about 10 minutes. Right now, we'll update a few of the hour's top business stories. Brian?
