Today’s Hot Asset – Vodafone

Stocks in Europe edged higher during yesterday’s trading session. Investors in Europe were pleased with the positive influx of corporate earnings figures that were released during yesterday’s trading session. This news managed to offset the negative data released in Asia earlier in the day. This lead to stock values increasing gradually throughout the session.

Stocks in Asia traded higher during the early trading session this morning. Investors in Asia were buoyed by the strong earnings data that was released in Hong Kong and Australia this morning. Stocks in Japan actually lead the region with the Nikkei 225 rising by 0.66% during the session.

Stocks in the U.S. traded sharply higher during yesterday evenings session. Equities within the biotech sector performed particularly well and this helped aid the rise in values especially as their was some conflicting retail sales data released during the same session. The movement was great for binary options investors as many call options were created.

Today’s hot asset is, Vodafone. The communications company had a great day yesterday, as they witnessed their share price increase by 1.91%. that movement will not have gone unnoticed by investors so I expect to see more reaction during the European session today.
