Markets Open In The Red Again, Awaiting The Fed And Tech Company Results

 

Yesterday’s increases across the main European stock indices seem to have been short-lived. The stock exchanges have turned red once again, after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) lowered its growth prospects for Europe for this year, while the restrictions to stop the COVID-19 contagion are extended by several countries. 

The index which fell the most is the Italian FTSE MIB, with more than 1%. This comes from their political crisis, after experiencing after the resignation of Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, with this adding to four prior days of falls over the last five trading days.

Wall Street also announced falls, despite positive results from some companies such as Microsoft (MSFT) or GameStop (GME). Investors are awaiting this afternoon’s appearance of the chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, as well as the results from Apple (AAPL), Tesla (TSLA), and Facebook (FB) at the market close. All of them are trading at historic highs, so it will be necessary to see if, after the 2020 results, they continue to rise.
