Yesterday world stock markets finished with a slump. In particular, in Europe the British FTSE 100 contracted by 0.21% down to 6,325.90 points, Germany’s DAX 30 fell 0.55% and reached 7,805.91 points while the French CAC 40 shed 0.46% making 3,768.26 points.

According to Associated Press, the US economy suddenly shrank for the first time since 2009 – in the fourth quarter of 2012 the country’s GDP contracted by 0.1%. This was caused by the biggest cuts in defense spending in 40 years and by export slowdown. The US Department of Commerce reports that GDP showed a drastic 0.1% decrease in the fourth quarter whereas it quickly grew by 3.1% in the third quarter. Before that the figures were also on the up – 1.3% and 2% in the second and the first quarters respectively. The unexpected GDP contraction can deepen concerns about the US economy’s ability to cope with tax hikes and a growing sovereign debt.

On the Forex market EUR/USD reached 1.3580 effectively. Now it’s experiencing a correction.

On the global currency market EUR/USD is going up again. Nonetheless, 1.3660 is a risky level for the pair. Important statistics are to be published today – US non-farm payroll data and jobless rates. These figures may accelerate the pair’s growth.

According to the Spanish agency EFE, Secretary General of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba called on Spain’s Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy to resign after the publication of documents implicating the head of the government in a corruption scandal in connection with former party treasurer Luis Bárcenas. The scandal first blew up with the release of information that Bárcenas held millions of euros in Swiss accounts. Rajoy strongly denied the allegations and said he was going to post his tax statements on the party website. Amid all this, the yield for Spanish 10-year bonds increased and reached a six week maximum of 5.44% during trading.

On the Forex market EUR/USD is also going down. The fall can stop at 1.3460 – a good support and the short-term MA level.

Markets in Wait for New Boosts So Far

On the first day of the trading week stock markets finished mixed. As such, in Europe the British FTSE 100 fell 0.16% and made 6,318.19 points, the German DAX index grew 0.46% up to 7,628.73 points, and the French CAC 40 advanced 0.18% reaching 3,667.04 points.

Investors’ mood was influenced by ECB Head Mario Draghi’s speech in the European parliament. He said that the euro exchange rate was an important factor but not the end goal of the policy. Draghi also mentioned that he foresaw some risks in the process of the eurozone’s economic recovery.

According to Monday’s results, both RTS and MICEX indices grew 0.1% and were at 1,578.65 points and 1,510.35 points respectively.

On London’s InterсontinentalExchange the weighted average cost of front-month oil futures was $117.38 per barrel, after going down by $0.28. There was no trading in the USA due to a national holiday.

On the Forex market EUR/USD ended with a daily doji. The pair is going down reluctantly even though it closed below the resistance level of 1.3360. If the pair reaches 1.3280, it’s better to stop selling.

Hike on Markets but No Bright Prospects

Last Friday world financial markets closed on a rise. As such, in Europe the British FTSE 100 went up by 0.63% to 6,330.88 points, the German DAX 30 grew 0.93% and made 7,654.43 points while the French CAC 40 gained 2.3% reaching 3,706.28 points.

In the USA the Dow Jones index advanced 0.86% up to 14,000.57 points, the NASDAQ grew 0.97% up to 3,161.82 points, and the S&P 500 was up 0.88% making 1,515.60 points.

Despite Friday’s hike on the markets, there’s not much to rejoice about. US President Barack Obama assumed that Democrats and Republicans wouldn’t come to an agreement on the budget, which will bring about automatic budget cuts to the tune of 1.2 trillion dollars in the next ten years. Consequently, it will put into question not only the country’s economic growth rate but its growth in general. Automatic spending cuts can take place by 1 March already. European news added more gloom – Germany’s GDP did shrink by 0.6% in the fourth quarter of 2012 whereas the European Commission lowered its outlook for the eurozone’s GDP growth in 2013 from a positive 0.1% to a negative 0.3%.

On the global Forex market EUR/USD is moving towards 1.3125.

Europe Unsettles Investors

Yesterday world financial markets closed mainly with a slump. Thus, the British FTSE 100 shed 1.35% down to 6,269,46 points, the German DAX 30 contracted by 2,15% and made 7,605.97 points while the French CAC 40 fell 2.61% down to 3,624.28 points.

The drop in the indices was linked to the results of the parliamentary elections in Italy where no party gained the majority of seats. This indicates that Italy won’t experience stability, which may undermine the eurozone’s financial soundness. Besides, Portugal’s opposition is demanding a revision of the conditions of the 78 billion euro bailout. They claim that the austerity program has been inefficient. As a way out, the opposition proposes deferral of payments.

On the Forex market EUR/USD reached the levels predicted earlier and is at the long-term MA currently. Simultaneously the pair entered the correction range it had been in basically from September to December 2012.

On London’s InterсontinentalExchange April Brent oil futures were down by $0.49 and finished trading at $111.38 per barrel. On the New York Mercantile Exchange the price of April WTI oil futures lowered by $0.71, down to $92.05 per barrel.

According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, the American economy grew just 0.1% in the fourth quarter of 2012 while analysts expected a more considerable increase – 0.5%. The nervousness of market participants was heightened by the statements made by IMF spokesman William Murray. The organization can change its outlook for the US economic growth in case automatic spending cuts take place (which should happen 1 March).

On the Forex market EUR/USD is still hanging about the long-term daily MA.

On Friday the main deterrent was the news that Congress and the US administration couldn’t negotiate avoiding the budget sequester. Cuts to the tune of 1.2 trillion dollars in the coming ten years and already 85 billion dollars by the end of this financial year, equally split between the military and civil sectors, will start after 1 March.

By the end of trading on the London stock exchange the price of April futures for the North Sea petroleum mix of mark Brent Crude Oil lowered by $0.49, down to $111.38 per barrel. On the New York stock exchange the price of April futures for light WTI oil went down by $0.71, to $92.05 per barrel.

No Common Trend So Far

Yesterday world financial markets closed mixed again. As such, in Europe the British FTSE 100 fell 0.07% and made 6,427.64 points, the German DAX 30 grew 0.62% up to 7,919.33 points whereas the French CAC 40 was down 0.35% and reached 3,773.76 points.

Investors’ pessimistic sentiments were caused by weak statistics from the USA where the volume of industrial orders decreased by 2% in January in comparison with December 2012. Stock exchange players are also concerned that the latest quotations rise has to do not with fundamental macroeconomic indicators but with the soft monetary policies of the Federal Reserve and other leading central banks. Besides, investor activity weakened in anticipation of the board meetings of the European Central Bank and the Bank of England 7 March.

EUR/USD is confidently moving down to 1.2850.

Indices Closed Variously

Yesterday world financial markets ended mixed.

Investors weren’t encouraged by Saturday’s statistics from China. Last month China’s industrial production output increased by 9.9%, although analysts expected a 10.6% rise. With that, the country’s retail sales went up by 12.3% in February, the forecast being a 15% increase. Besides, last Saturday it became known that China’s inflation rate grew up to 3.2% in February in comparison with 2% the month before, while it was expected to be at 3%.

On the Forex market EUR/USD is still at the daily long-term MA. Nonetheless, the pair is able to go to 1.2850. One only needs to wait for the right macrostatistics.
