Global Indices:

Asian share markets were mostly firmer on Tuesday and the euro clung to rare gains, relieved that European equities had weathered Greece’s election outcome without much disruption.

U.S. stocks fell modestly on Friday, pressured by some disappointing results from major multinational companies, which offset optimism triggered by the European Central Bank’s recent decision to buy bonds and boost euro zone growth.

Greek stocks fell in volatile trade on Monday after anti-austerity party Syriza swept to victory in Sunday’s election, while other European equities kept rising on the promise of European Central Bank bond-buying.
