Asian markets closed mostly with modest losses. The fall of oil and the rise of yields in most of the countries of this region. In Japan, 30-year yields peaked in the last 4 months (0.883%). However, the political situation on the Korean peninsula continues to generate some concern. Following the launch of a supposedly intercontinental missile by North Korea, the US and South Korea carried out several exercises that involved the launching of missiles, and the US ambassador to the UN admitted using force to stop North Korea’s nuclear program.

During the past month, car sales in the US fell 3%, being the 6th consecutive monthly decline. Sales of Fiat Chrysler fell 7.40%, Ford’s 5%, General Motors 4.70% and those of Korea’s Hyundai-Kia decreased 15%. On the contrary, sales of Nissan, Toyota and Honda showed slight increases in sales, although these were not enough to offset the falls in Detroit (which remains the heart of the American automotive industry). Volkswagen sales grew 11% year-on-year, when the level of sales was very low, although this increase fell short of estimates.

Asian markets closed with contained variance, despite the positive news coming from the Chinese economy. In June, the Caixin PMI index reached 50.4, above the estimated 49.4 and 50.0, which separates a cycle of expansion from a contraction cycle. Unlike the official PMI index prepared by the state authorities, the Caixin PMI index, calculated by a private institution, is compiled through surveys of small and medium private enterprises. These companies are more representative of the more dynamic areas of the Chinese economy than the large state-owned enterprises, which are at the heart of the o...

Yesterday, the DAX broke the support formed by the area of 12490/12500, which constituted a relevant short / medium technical barrier. It is important to emphasize that in the last 12 months, the stock markets have not suffered any corrections worth noting. The only falls that deserve mention were the ones that followed Brexit and the election of Donald Trump but lasted only a few hours. So if S & P, which we consider to be the leading index of world markets, start trading below 2419 then the likelihood of a larger correction than witnessed in recent months will begin to be significant.

In the pre-opening, the European markets negotiated in positive territory. The influence of the markets should be the agreement on Greece, while political developments, especially in France, should return to attract attention, since on Sunday is the second round of the elections to Parliament. Meanwhile, oil prices are close to the low of the last six months, in the face of continued fears of over-production and despite OPEC's efforts to reduce supply. The final estimate of inflation in the Euro Zone for May will be published today, which should confirm a correction of 1.90% to 1.40%, due ...

US stocks dropped while the dollar advanced as traders digested the more hawkish tone from the Federal Reserve. The British pound swung to a gain after a split among policy makers over the path of interest rates unexpectedly deepened. The Fed raised interest rates for the second time in 2017 and Chair Janet Yellen suggested the strength of the U.S. labor market will ultimately prevail over recent weakness in inflation.

In the pre-opening, the European markets negotiated in different directions. The main theme of the day is the US Federal Reserve meeting, but whose outcome will only be known after European markets close. However, political developments in Europe will continue to be in the spotlight. With regard to the United Kingdom, the leader of the DUP, the Irish unionist party that Theresa May counts on to guarantee the parliamentary majority, said yesterday that the negotiations are “going well” and there should be an agreement “sooner rather than later.” The BBC also said that th...

The US stock market ended up high, with investors reacting fundamentally to the testimony of former FBI director James Comey. The Dow Jones industrial average hit an intraday high following James Comey's comments, though he backed down. The S & P500 closed at a slight high, favored by banks (the SPDR S & P Bank ETF rose more than 2.50%) and conditioned by utilities. The testimony of the former director of the FBI was the event of the most awaited week and was closely monitored by investors to check on the possible impact of James Comey's words on the implementation of the pro-g...
