Yesterday, the negative reaction to the outcome of the referendum turned out to be quite limited in time. In fact, the Italian market opened with losses close to 2%, with banking shares accumulating devaluations of almost 5%. The fragility of the FTSEMIB index and its banking sector rapidly spread to other markets. In the debt market, the Euro has reached the lows of the last months and the peripheral yields have risen sharply. This trend, however, lasted less than 30 minutes, when a notable recovery boosted the Milan stock exchange (affecting their European counterparts) and the Euro, while y...

The best way to measure investors’ risk perception regarding Italy is through the evolution of the country’s banking shares, Italian credit default swaps and the differential between Italian and Spanish yields. While the spread between German and Italian yields not only measures the risk of Italy as well as Southern Europe as a whole, the differential between Italian and Spanish interest rates isolates the “southern Europe” or “periphery” effect and Focuses on country risk.

Since then, there has been a steep increase in Italian yields, an increase in the spread agai...

US markets closed at modest losses but were enough to be considered the biggest since election day. The session was relatively quiet, with the volume well below average. The main themes of the session were the strong uncertainty over the OPEC meeting and the sales of the holiday season. After the optimism that prevailed for much of last week, the approach of tomorrow’s meeting is fraught with uncertainty and pessimism. The holiday season continues to show signs of dynamism. According to Adobe Digital Insights, Cyber Monday sales increased by 9.40% compared to the same day in 2015. Cyber ...

American markets were closed for Thanksgiving. Today, the session will be shorter, ending at 18:00 GMT. Today is called Black Friday, which marks the official start of the shopping season, which coincides with the most profitable period of retail chains.

The European indices continue to be traded in a wide range, which has lasted since June. In addition to the economic indicators, investors will monitor the publication of the minutes of the last meeting of the Fed (7:00 pm). The publication of this document may be less important than usual as investors expect, almost consensually, that the Fed raise interest rates at the December meeting.

As they hit new highs, US indexes force fund managers to follow the rise and buy stocks. Before the election, although discounting a victory by Hillary Clinton and having a misperception of the consequences of a remote election of Donald Trump, several fund managers had taken a defensive stance in their portfolios. Now, faced with the appreciation of the main indices, these investors have to take a more aggressive position, allocating a larger portion of their portfolios to the stock market.

Asian markets closed higher. The Dollar dip benefited some Southeast Asian markets. Although the strength of the American currency of recent weeks favor exports, it is important to remember that several banks and companies in the region subscribed bonds in dollars. When appreciated the Dollar, increases the the debt amount of these institutions, many of them with a high financial leverage. In Japan, exports declined for the 13th consecutive month, signaling the loss of competitiveness of their companies (due to the appreciation of the Yen during 2016). Imports also declined, partly because of ...

US indexes closed higher. Janet Yellen’s words and their positive impact on US bond yields reinforced the pattern observed during the so-called Trump Rally. Banking and cyclical stocks led the rise, while utilities and the oil sector underperformed. Before the Congress’s Joint Economic Committee, Janet Yellen argued that the US economy continues to expand, having accelerated after a troubled start in the year. The Fed Chairman added that “a rise in interest rates is appropriate in the short term.” This statement was more incisive than the statement from the last Fed mee...

Since the election of Donald Trump there has been a strong and volatile rise in the most cyclical sectors (primarily banks, with the exception of the mining and oil sectors) and an abrupt decline in the more defensive and more sensitive sectors of state yields. Wall Street yesterday’s session witnessed a recovery in the latter sectors, and that pattern is likely to be imitated in Europe. Among the sectors that were previously penalized the oil company should be the most dynamic, as after yesterday’s valuations, crude oil continued to appreciate during the Asian session.

Since Wednesday there has been a generalized rise in world yields, a movement that gains greater expression in those countries where public debt is high. In the short term, the rise in the US yields and the US Dollar have reached extreme levels and may therefore be corrected. The long-term trend of these two variables should be traced when the new US Presidency provides more detail on the economic measures it intends to adopt.
