Today’s Hot Asset – Twitter

Stocks in Asia traded mixed during the early trading session this morning. Investors in Asia approached the markets with caution throughout the entire session today as they looked ahead to the key data due to be released in the U.S. later in the day. Binary Options traders in Asia were also looking ahead to the cooperate earnings figures due to be released in Japan and South Korea. All the caution and uncertainty surrounding the markets today has caused the mixed movement.

Stocks in the U.S. dipped towards the end of yesterday’s final trading session. Investors were given hope towards the start of the session following lots of positive regional company earnings data. However, the movement did not last until the end of the session and following the new sanctions the U.S. imposed on Russia combined with the current on-goings in Gaza/Israel investors were gradually scared away and as a result stock values slipped.

Stocks in Europe traded higher during yesterday’s trading session. Investors in Europe were given confidence following the EU’s decision to impose new sanctions on Russia due to the on-going situation with Ukraine. Investors are also trying to anticipate what the outcome of the Federal Reserve’s two day policy meeting will be. The meeting commenced during yesterday’s session and will conclude during today’s.

Today’s hot asset is, Twitter. The social media company released their company earnings figure yesterday which was positive as many analysts predicted. The result was actually released just after the market closed but pre-market trading has already shown an incredible 28.56% increase in their share price. This should make Twitter an extremely interesting asset during today’s session which is why this is my hot asset of the day.
