The Brent has also broken through the psychological share of 70 dollars a barrel, the American crude oil at over 64 dollars in two sessions has gained 5%. Gold, a safe haven par excellence, is approaching the peaks of the past seven years. The ounce exceeds $ 1,572. In Asia Tokyo lost nearly two points and Hong Kong 0.79%.
