 And when the markets in Europe closed a couple of hours ago, London's FTSE 100 was up. The Dax and the Euro were also up. In the US, trading comes to a close shortly and the Dow Jones is up. And the S&P 500 is up as well.

 
And the Australian dollar is worth just over 103 US this morning. It'll also buy you 65 British pence and 123 New Zealand dollars.
 
Federal independent MP Rob Oakeshott has urged the Treasurer1 Wayne Swan to show some courage and fix mining tax. Mr Swan has revealed the tax has raised 126 million dollars since July, well below the 2 billion dollars Treasury2 predicted it would raise in its first year. The Greens have labelled the figures “shockingly low” and are planning to move a bill in parliament next week to fix some of the loopholes. Mr Oakeshott says he's willing to support that bill, but he hopes Wayne Swan will take the lead. 
 
The French government says it has no plans to support ailing3 car maker4 Peugeot-Citroen with a stake purchase, cooling speculation5 of a state cash injection to help ease the company's problems.  The comments came a day after Peugeot wrote down the value of its assets by 4.1 billion Euros to reflect the worsening state of the car market. Peugeot is in the process of cutting 8,000 jobs to stem losses.
