Today’s Hot Asset – Exxon Mobil

Stocks in Asia traded slightly lower during the early trading session today. Today’s session was rather quiet as investors prepare themselves for the upcoming fundamental data releases. Samsung Electronics had a particularly bad session, as they witnessed their share price devalue by 3.9%. This did create many attractive put options for binary options investors, as the session progressed.

Stocks in Europe traded lower during yesterday’s trading session. Investors in Europe erred on the side of caution during yesterday’s session, as they anticipated the Federal Reserve’s policy statement which was released later in the day. Investors were also concerned regarding the current on-goings in Ukraine and this certainly aided the downwards momentum.

Stocks in U.S. ended yesterday’s trading session with mixed movement. All the data yesterday pointed towards U.S. economic growth and this created a choppy atmosphere within the stock markets, as many investors moved towards currency trading to take advantage of the rising U.S. dollar.

Today’s hot asset is, Exxon Mobil. The world’s largest publicly traded international oil and gas company are due to release their quarterly earnings figure today. The data will certainly be of interest to many equity investors and this is why this asset is my hot asset of the day today.
