Today’s Hot Asset – Microsoft

Stocks in Asia traded mixed during the early session today. Data released by China earlier in the session did help to push stock values higher. However, it was not enough to convince all investors to invest in equities creating lots of volatility. This is great for binary options traders, as it provides lots of fantastic price reversals.

Stocks in Europe traded higher during a choppy session yesterday. Investors within the region were anticipating the data that was released by China earlier today and to hear comments from Janet Yellen and Mark Carney. All of this taking place after the closing bell yesterday. This should make today’s session extremely interesting viewing to see how investors react to all this data.

Stocks in the U.S. rose during yesterday’s session. Investors’ minds were eased following Janet Yellens comments and this gave them the confidence they needed to continue to invest in equities causing prices to rise.
