It all happened before the markets actually opened. Stock index futures the perfect tool for market manipulation. ES opened yesterday with a 8.00 gap up. Then overnight it rises highers on thin overnight volume....PRESTO THERE YOU HAVE IT.
My guess is they keep putting out rosy headlines during the European trading sessions till end of June. Then come July 1 we may the the truth.

The increase unwound April's surprise drop in purchases, which economists had dismissed as a blip given that forward-looking indicators on home sales, including mortgage applications, had been fairly strong during that period. The Realtors group revised April's sales pace up to 5.09 million units from the previously reported 5.04 million units. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast home resales rising to a 5.26 million-unit pace last month. First-time buyers accounted for 32 percent of transactions, the largest share since September 2012.

I noticed the 8 point open yesterday, and not once did it pull back at anytime throughout the entire night.
Can't help thinking that Greeks are milking this thing, knowing they will strike a deal for a fact one can make big $$$.
It's guaranteed they reach a deal, failure is no longer permitted in this new era of endless bailouts.
Do you mean exuberance? I would rather go long based on a predominant trend and use a protective stop, then trade against it. Personal preference at the moment.
Just another few hundred points and we are back at new all time highs. Right on que for the end of quarter. It's so easy making risk free money, even a cave man can do it.
