The 18 September page said Europe closed red and New York did not. Euro Stoxx was down 1.37 percent and the FTSE 100 was down 1.45 percent, against an S&P 500 that rose 0.17 percent. That was that Friday. It was still being offered as a front-page distinction on 10 October.
One Friday in the same direction retires the sentence that Europe and New York diverged.
Friday 9 October the tape printed Euro Stoxx at 6,173.4, up 0.76 percent, the FTSE 100 at 10,552.1, up 1.06 percent, and the S&P 500 at 7,811.5, up 0.59 percent. The three boards rose together. The September distinction does not describe this session.
Asia was not that European day
The Nikkei was 69,030.9, down 0.02 percent. The Hang Seng was 24,211.3, up 1.79 percent. A flat Tokyo close and a higher Hong Kong close are not a European session, and they are not New York either. Three geographies again, but the split is not the one the September page named.
Rising together on one Friday does not make Euro Stoxx, the FTSE, and the S&P 500 one market. It retires a sentence. The next red European close against a green New York close would put that distinction back. This Friday did not.
Euro Stoxx, the FTSE, and the S&P 500 rose on Friday. The 18 September page was the opposite pattern.
