Today’s Hot Asset – Coca Cola

Stocks in the U.S. have opened trading slightly higher during today’s late session. Investors are still managing to find equities appealing following the depreciation of the dollar. This a little surprising, as economic manufacturing data released in New York was actually negative making the current movement contrasting. This should create a bit of uncertainty amongst investors as the session continues which is great for binary options investors.

Stocks in Europe traded mixed to lower throughout today’s session. Disappointing European economic data did not do too much to fill investors within the region with confidence. However, stocks within the U.K. have been leading the way for Europe, as the FTSE 100 closed up for the day.

Stocks in Asia traded mixed throughout a turbulent early trading session today. Stocks in Japan performed well after the Bank of Japan decided to leave its policy target unchanged. This made the Yen less desirable and swayed investors towards stocks.

Today’s hot asset is, Coca Cola. The soft drink manufacturing giant released their quarterly earnings figures and this will always create a reaction form eager investors. The share price is currently down by 3.92%.
