Today’s Hot Asset – Apple

Stocks in the U.S. traded higher during the final session last week. Investors in the U.S. took advantage of the attractive opportunities that were created within the stock market following the release of a disappointing non farm payroll report (NFP). The disappointing data deterred investors away from the Forex market and this created the surge upwards in stock values.

Stocks in Asia traded steady to slightly higher during this mornings trading session. The market movement was reasonably slow this morning due to the Chinese markets being closed for a national holiday. Even so investors in Japan still managed to grasp the investment opportunities available and the helped the Nikkei close the day 0.03% higher.

Stocks in Europe are currently trading lower as the opening session of the week draws to a close. Investors in Europe started in a sluggish mood but have now been sent into somewhat of a frenzy following the news that Scotland could be set to split from the rest of the United Kingdom. Investors were not paying any real attention to this situation however, a vote today showed the majority of Scotsman are in favor of the split just 10 days before the actual vote. This is massive fundamental data and it is having a significant impact on European equities.

Today’s hot asset is, Apple. The tech giant are due to unveil their new iPhone tomorrow at their conference. This event always sparks a reaction amongst investors and I expect investors to try and predict the consumer response and that should make this asset extremely volatile.
