Here's a super quick guide to what traders are talking about this morning

The optimism is being driven by China's Market rebound, and positive rhetoric coming from Eurozone Ministers on Greece. The DAX is soaring, gaining 2% as the Financials across the continent scream higher by 3-4%+.

Peripheral yields are all tighter, led by a very sharp bid in Greek Bonds - knocking their 10YY down nearly 4% this AM. With this Greek Sentiment, the Euro is flying thru 1.11 this AM, and the $ is losing ground across the board - causing a tailwind for commodities. Most metals have a bid to them, but a notable loser is Copper, dropping 50bp despite China. The Oil complex is higher as signs point to no Iranian deal - but off their best levels as the IEA warns on the market's oversupply building. Softs are all marked higher into the Noon USDA report. Catalysts today include Treasury Sec. Lew speaking at 8am - at 10am we get Wholesale Inventories, followed by Boston Fed Pres. Rosengren's speech at 11:30.
