The FTSE 100, DAX and CAC 40 all moved higher with the former remaining in red territory though, being last down by 0.2%. The DAX and the [..]

In Asian equities, the Nikkei 225 managed to finish the day higher by a bit less than 0.5%. This is the third straight day that the Japanese benchmark has finished in the green, though its gains were limited relative to the more than 1% added in each of the two preceding days. The Topix, which more broadly gauges Japanese equity performance, closed 0.6% higher, again not managing to match performance from earlier in the week. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was [..]

Stock Market News (European Open) – Global equities extend gains; financials lead rise in Stoxx 600

Posted on September 12, 2017 at 9:52 am GMT

As concerns over Hurricane Irma and tensions in the Korean peninsula are abating, investors’ appetite for risk is further boosted, pushing global equities higher. The UN Security Council did approve a proposal to impose further sanctions on North Korea, though those were softer in nature to the ones the US initially pushed forward. This development is spurring hopes that the opposing sides will, moving forward, opt to negotiate rather than engage in provocative actions against one another. In Asia, the [..]

Posted on September 11, 2017 at 9:53 am GMT

Stock markets are on a positive footing in today’s trading with hefty gains being posted by major indices around the world. North Korea did not proceed with a missile launch, as reports had suggested, when the country celebrated its founding day on Saturday, while Hurricane Irma, despite having quite a negative impact on the US, it still wasn’t as devastating when it hit the country over the weekend as was initially feared. Both these developments are spurring traders’ appetite for [..]

Posted on September 8, 2017 at 2:11 pm GMT

The Stoxx 600, a broader gauge of European equities, was last up on the margin. This compares with the 0.4% fall that was recorded in the morning when the index was at its lowest. The closely watched FTSE 100 was last 0.5% down. It’s been a bad week for the UK’s blue-chip index, [..]

Posted on September 6, 2017 at 2:00 pm GMT

Looking at the pan-European Stoxx 600 to more broadly gauge European equity performance, the overall picture reversed to positive with the index trading slightly less than 0.1% higher during late European trading hours. Losses stood at 0.6% when it hit its lowest earlier in the day. Should it finish the day higher then this would mark an end to two consecutive daily declines. The UK’s FTSE 100 remained in the red, being last down by 0.4%, while the German DAX [..]
