Since December 2012, the US debt limit has been reached and since then the State has operated through a series of legal and accounting subterfuges, without having a budget as such.

European markets ended the last session of 2017 in different directions, with investors looking at the outlook for the coming year. 2017 was marked by an appreciation of the European stock markets, albeit smaller than the US, mainly due to the appreciation of the Euro which is a disadvantage for the region's exports. The technology sector has appreciated by around 20%, making it one of the best performers in Europe on an annual basis.

Copper hit highest yesterday for the last three and a half years. Sustaining the rise in this raw material are, on a more structural level, positive prospects for the world economy.
