The question that today's session raises is whether European indices will fully reflect the Wall Street losses or considering its recent underperformance this indentation will be limited. The year 2018 teaches that complacency can be a dangerous feeling.

In the macroeconomic context, the day was marked by the presence of ECB President Mario Draghi in the European Parliament. In his first dialogue this year with MEPs, and about a week away from the next monetary policy meeting, the ECB President said that the ECB should remain persistent and patient in attributing stimulus to the economy, even in the face of current momentum which makes the Central Bank more confident in terms of prospects for inflation levels. In fact, Draghi argued that inflation remains dependent on monetary stimuli. In addition, Mario Draghi mentioned that ECB measures have...

Considered the largest retailer in the world, Walmart reported a adjusted EPS of 1.33 USD, which fell short of the estimated 1.37 USD. Revenues amounted to 136 300 M.USD, which exceeded forecasts of 134 900. But what displeased investors was the evolution of WalMart’s efforts to compete with Amazon in the e-commerce market. WalMart’s online business growth rate of 23% is small compared to the 40% recorded by Amazon. WalMart shares fell by 10.20%, the biggest daily drop since January 1988.

Most European stock markets ended up with almost all sectors showing gains. The London market was an exception, with the main FTSE 100 index showing a slight loss (-0.03%). The session was essentially based on the reaction of investors to some published results. Billiton recorded a devaluation of more than 4%, penalizing its sector. The mining company reported a semiannual profit amounted to 4050 M.USD and EBITDA to 11240 M.USD. Both numbers fell short of the 4340 M.USD and 11580 M.USD estimated by analysts. On the positive side, the proposed dividend is $ 0.55 per share, more than the $ 0.48 ...

European markets closed lower, retreating from gains made last week. The volume of trading was lower than usual, given the closing of the North American Stock Exchange, reason why the movements ended up having a greater weight. Most of the sectors traded in the negative, with the losses being led by car manufacturers and pharmacists. Daimler fell 2.08%, after news that it may have used software to tamper with gas emissions. Reckitt Benckiser reported quarterly results and raised forecasts for 2018. Investors, however, attached great importance to moderate potential in terms of operating margin...

With the positive performance of the banking sector, the US market recovered from the initial losses. This negative performance at the opening was spurred by the publication of data on inflation relative to the first month of the year. The consumer price index rose 0.50% in January (the highest increase in the last 5 months), up from the 0.30% expected by economists. In relation to the same month of the previous year, inflation remained at 2.10%, but exceeded the expected 1.90%.

On Friday US markets ended up in a session that was again marked by high volatility, thus completing the worst week for stock markets since January 2016. During the session, the S&P ranged from a loss of 1.80% to a appreciation of 2.10%. The magnitude of the S&P oscillation becomes sharper when compared to the fact that in 2017, the American index recorded about 150 consecutive sessions with oscillations of less than 1%. The day was totally dominated by market factors, which replicated the movements of the previous sessions. During the day, there were some selling associated wi...

This point is particularly relevant as there is a relevant difference between the decisions taken by investors and decisions resulting from an automatic algorithm. Investors tend to assess market conditions before submitting their orders, so in the absence of purchases a number of these investors are likely to wait for market normalization. On the other hand, the automatic programs generally act solely and exclusively according to the algorithms with which they have been programmed that will be able to integrate the market conditions or not. As a result, many of these programs will be able to ...

Deutsche Bank has published an interesting study on how S&P reacted after the 10 biggest VIX rises. Thus, on average, the S&P appreciated 3.90% in the week following the occurrence of these increases. However, S & P lost an average of 0.40% in the following month and 2.60% in the following three months. Yesterday’s rise in sovereign interest rates is explained by the lower buyer interest that the 10-year bond auction raised among investors and the news that the two parties in Congress have reached an agreement to fund the American state with 300,000 M. USD over th...

Normally, after a steep decline like the one observed in the previous sessions, markets tend to fluctuate quite volatile not only because the fall forces investors to restructure their portfolios but force them to reshape their outlook on the stock market situation. At this stage investors’ sensitivity to events and news is extreme, so their reaction to these factors could be somewhat exacerbated, thus contributing to the remain of high volatility.

Once the first negative reaction is over, and in a purely technical and short-term perspective, it can not be excluded that stock markets can start a recovery. World stocks may be favored by the fact that yields have reached levels that are technically called overbought.

The epicenter of the weakness in the stock market lies in the bond market and more precisely in the rise in yields. Only now, and after months of upward trend, stock market investors are beginning to wake up to the potential detrimental effects that rising yields can cause.
