July 8, 2014 – Indices News

American markets lagged slightly during last nights session. This was the first time the markets re-opened following last Thursday’s NFP & jobs data. The movement has been anticipated by many investors following the milestone figures that were reached following the data being released last Thursday. The NASDAQ lead the region lower with losses of 0.77% during yesterday’s session. The Dow Jones and the S&P 500 also fell by 0.26% and 0.39% respectively.

Asian markets followed the movement seen on Wall.St overnight. Stocks in Japan reached a six month high last week and investors were unable to exceed that level during today’s session. Japan’s Nikkei 225 fell by 0.4% during this mornings session. Investors within the region will be looking ahead to the upcoming data releases in China which are due to take place both tomorrow and Thursday. This should create plenty of movement which is great news for binary options investors.

European markets have fallen sharply so far during today’s session. This movement could change as the session is currently still in process. Stocks in the U.K have take a particularly big hit following bad new for companies within the financial sector. As a result the FTSE 100 is currently down by 0.49%. Stocks in Germany’s DAX and France’s CAC 40 are suffering just the same and both their indices are reflecting this as they are both down by 0.53% and 0.42% respectively.
