European markets negociate without a defined trend, and were initially influenced by the decrease of Euro during yesterday’s New York session and Asian today. In this context, the most cyclical stocks, including car manufacturers, should register a overperformance, as happened at the end of yesterday’s session. The decline of oil in Asian markets could generate selling pressure in the respective sector. The prevailing opinion in the oil markets is that air attacks on Shiite positions in Yemen should not restrict the transport of goods through the Red Sea, and should not ignite Shii...

The reasons for the weakness in the Aamerican Indexes are from technical and fundamental nature. The technical reasons are linked to the fact that the rise in US indexes have reached extreme levels (although not as extreme as the Europeans) so a correction was not entirely unlikely. In fact, many investors decided to take profits in sectors that had accumulated higher valuations, such as biotechnology. Another factor that has weighed on investor sentiment is the downward revision of estimates for corporate profits for the 1st quarter of this year. The main reason for this review is the rise in...

The European markets will be the stage of the opposition of two effects: the positive associated with the rise of Wall Street and the negative associated with the recovery of the Euro, resulting from the meeting of the FED.
