Today’s Hot Asset – Citigroup

Stocks in Asia traded mixed throughout the early trading session today. Investors within the region are keenly awaiting the results of the Bank of Japans two day policy meeting which should conclude tomorrow. Stocks in Japan did disappoint today with their regional index finishing the day lower by 1.36%.

Stocks in the U.S. are currently trading mixed to higher during the final trading session of the day. Investors are approaching the markets with caution at the moment, as they await earnings figure releases due out shortly. This is creating lots of volatility, as investors try and pick out any attractive opportunities and this movement is great for binary options investors.

Stocks in Europe closed for the day trading slightly lower. Investors in Europe were also extremely cautious. Partly due to the upcoming earnings figures due to be released shortly but also because of the mounting tensions in Crimea. This doubt is playing with investors mindset and causing the downwards movement.

Today’s hot asset is, Citigroup. Citigroup announced yesterday that they will pay $1.13 billion to settle claims regarding mortgage securities. This news will certainly spark investor interest and so far the share price has risen by 0.26% today.
