Today’s Hot Asset – Pfizer

Stocks in the U.S. traded slightly higher during yesterday evenings session. Investors were buoyed by the positive regional fundamental data that was released during the session. The data certainly gave investors a big boost of confidence and this helped to send stock values higher. The S&P 500 closed above the 2,000 mark for the first time.

Stocks in Asia shadowed the movement that occurred during the U.S. session and traded slightly higher. Investors in Asia noticed the positive reaction to the data in the U.S. and they continued the momentum into their own session, as a result equity values rose steadily throughout the session today. Hitachi had a particularly good day as their share price rose by as much as 1.2% during this mornings session.

Stocks in Europe have opened the for the day trading little changed. Today’s session should be reasonably quiet as there is little data due to be released. However, the circumstances can change swiftly and if that happens there will be plenty of attractive trading opportunities for binary options investors.

Today’s hot asset is, Pfizer. The pharmaceutical giant had a great day yesterday and this was reflected as their share price rose 1.04%. A movement of that size will not have gone unnoticed amongst the investor community and as a result the movement should continue today, which is why this is my hot asset of the day.
