European Equity Market Handover Twentyninth April

Article By: ,  Financial Analyst

  • Oil shares are continuing to drive most large markets lower as investors try to get ahead of possible impact from U.S. President Donald Trump’s demand last week for OPEC to reduce prices
  • Oil looks so pervasive that it’s drowning out positives, like a wide-ranging upgrade of banks by JPMorgan that underpins these shares
  • A more emphatic re-election than expected of Spain’s Socialist Pedro Sanchez as Prime Minister accounts for the main index there underperforming
  • U.S. stock markets aren’t rousing either, shrugging off the first big release in this week’s busy schedule. A one-year low in the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge – the PCE Index – and rebounding consumer spending are taken as neutral ahead of Wednesday’s Fed statement
  • Wall Street futures were indecisively around the flat-line a short while ago. The Dow was up a few points; Nasdaq and S&P contracts were around 0.5 to 2 points offside

Corporate News

  • Focus in terms of individual equities is almost all about this evening and the days ahead, with Alphabet reporting quarterly earnings this evening and other global heavyweights, including Apple, GM, GSK, Qualcomm, BP, HSBC, Royal Dutch Shell and numerous others set to step up to the plate.
