Today’s Hot Asset – Coca-Cola

Stocks in Europe traded mixed to higher during a quiet session at the beginning to the week. Stocks in the financial sector in the U.K. have been doing particularly well today and this has helped the regional index reach positive figures.

Stocks in the U.S. look set to open the day trading slightly higher. Investors will be concentrating on some key earnings figure releases due out throughout this week. This will create a lot of volatility within the stock markets which is great for short term binary options positions.

Stocks in Asia traded slightly higher during today’s early session. Signs showed that the region’s economic growth actually dipped. However, this was not enough to deter investors from appealing stocks. Regional economic data is due to be released tomorrow and this should create more movement.

Today’s hot asset is, Coca-Cola. The soft drinks company is due to release their quarterly earnings figure after the closing bell today. Investors will be anticipating the outcome throughout today’s session causing their share price to be volatile. The share price is currently up by 0.46%.
