Stock Markets – Closing Note – 25 Sep
Ger30, UK100 and SP500 are CFD’s, written over the Dax30, Footsie100 and S&P500 Index futures:
European stock markets closed higher, favored mainly by the oil se ctor. Just as yesterday, the price of oil showed a significant upward trajectory, supported by OPEC's decision not to increase its global supply. Also in the high was the technological sector, with gains greater than 1%. In banking, Deutsche Bank fell 0.71%. According to Bloomberg, the financial institution may use a capital increase to finance the merger with Commerzbank. In Switzerland, Novartis shares rose more than 1%, despite the Financial Times' report on the cut of 1700 jobs in Switzerland and about 400 in the UK, where it is expected to close its operations in Grimsby as part of a plan to reduce production costs and drive profitability. In retail, Next was among the best performers, having reported a 0.50% increase in first half earnings and the decision to raise their annual profit outlook.
Despite fears related to global trade issues, the US stock exchange was trading higher, led by gains in the banking and energy sectors. Banks benefited from a 10-year rise in TO yields nearing year-end highs, while the energy sector was boosted by soaring oil prices. In terms of economic indicators, the S & P Case Shiller index, relative to house prices in the 20 largest metropolitan areas, registered an increase of 5.92% in July compared to the same month of the previous year. Estimates indicated a variation of over 6.20%. On the other hand, the Consumer Confidence Index, as measured by the Conference Board, reached 138.4 in September, compared to the expected 132.1. Investors are waiting for the FED meeting scheduled for tomorrow.
