Today’s Hot Asset – Boeing

Stocks in Asia continued to rise throughout the early trading session today. Investors within the region focused their attention towards stocks rather than forex, as they await the key data due to be released in the U.S. later in the day.

Stocks in the U.S. closed for the day trading higher. The positive reaction was created following the release of better than expected U.S. jobless claims data. Investors will be awaiting the NFP report due to be released in the U.S. at 13:30 GMT today. This will create waves of volatility on the markets which is great for binary options investors.

Stocks in Europe just about managed to keep their gains by the close yesterday. Positive European data being released and European Central Bank President Mario Draghi’s speech both helped aid the upwards movement. Investors within Europe will also be awaiting the NFP report from the U.S. later today.

Today’s hot asset is, Boeing. The airplane manufacturer has just won a $1.16 billion contract from the Pentagon to re-manufacture Apache helicopters and 10 new helicopters. This fundamental news will put this asset directly in the investors spotlight, making it very interesting viewing during today’s U.S. session.
