Some positive signs from international markets overnight. 

American and European markets tumbled on Friday due to ongoing concerns about the Middle East conflict. 

Asia-Pacific markets followed suit yesterday, with the NZX 50 dropping 3.1%. 

Craigs Investment Partners Investment Director Mark Lister told Mike Hosking trading overnight has been more subdued. 

He says oil prices got up to about $120 a barrel and are now back in the 90s, and the US, UK, and Europe markets are down again, but only slightly.
