Provide neutral opening AEX
Tuesday, 09 March 2021 8:06 AM
(ABM FN-Dow Jones) The future of the Amsterdam Stock Exchange marks a very flat opening an hour before the Stock Exchange.
On Monday, the AEX started the trading week steady with a gain of 1.8 percent at 665.65 points. Economic outlook and rising interest rates mainly encouraged investors to buy funds, with Akon, ING and ABN Amro gaining between 5 and 9 per cent.
On Monday evening, Wall Street showed a strongly divided picture. Technology transfer Nasdaq lost 2.9 percent and the traditionally passed Dow Jones index gained 1.0 percent. The broader S&P 500 index gave up half a percentage point after rising 0.8 percent the previous day.
Despite the increase in bond yields and the weakness of technology stocks, the Dow Jones index rose to its all-time high. Asset managers and traders were expecting an economic recovery, with inflation expected to rise, and a break from government securities and technical funds, while banking and energy stocks were in high demand.
The driving force behind this was the Senate’s approval of US President Joe Biden’s $ 1.9 trillion corona support package.
“I call this a piracy correction,” said Keith Lerner, market strategist at Truist Advisory Services. “No money goes out of the market, it just goes to other names,” Lerner said.
But after a significant sell-off in recent weeks, the price drop for some of the top fliers over the past year has been much higher, Lerner thinks. According to him, the revision of these shares will end soon. “I think ten-year rates will stabilize soon. The outlook for stocks is bright.”
As of Monday evening, the yield on U.S. 10-year government bonds was 1.57 percent. A condition that was on the plates last weekend. Interest rates were 1.56 percent this morning.
In Asia, stock markets were mostly able to find their way until this morning. Is the Hong Kong index in Hong Kong with a gain of 1.5 percent. The Cosby index in Seoul, which has several technology stocks, including Samsung, was not the only one to exit with a loss of 0.7 percent.
Oil prices closed lower on Monday after a volatile day. At $ 65.05 a barrel, the West Texas Intermediate became 1.6 percent cheaper per barrel. Oil prices rose further in the morning trade after Yemeni Houthi forces, backed by Iran, attacked a large Saudi Arabian oil port in the Persian Gulf with missile and drone strikes. Among other things, a strong dollar caused oil prices to fall.
The Euro / Dollar pair traded at 1.1858 this morning. With the US accelerating vaccinations and a boost from Joe Biden’s corona support package, investors predict that the U.S. economy will outperform the eurozone economy. In the first months of this year, the currency pair was still at the level of 1.2150 on average.
The macroeconomic agenda is low today, while the revenue period is largely dead. Investors are still aware of the final economic growth in the Eurozone over the past quarter. Later this week, the focus will be on the central bank, which will announce its interest rate decision on Thursday afternoon.
