Each major index was up nearly a percent or more only a few hours into trading, with the NASDAQ up 1.92%, the S&P up 1.42%, and the DOW up 0.80%. Crypto markets also began the day mostly in the green, with few tokens within the largest fifty market caps in the red. Today we’re watching investments in Mastercard and Citigroup.

Citigroup shares jumped on news that the famous Warren Buffet held a $3 billion stake in the bank.
