Today’s Hot Asset – Barclays

Stocks in Europe are currently trading slightly lower. Part of this movement is being caused by investors cashing in on their profits from yesterday’s session. However, investors within the region are awaiting the results of key U.S. economic data due to be released later in the session and this could change the current outlook. Once the data is released it will create volatility on the markets which is great for binary options investors.

Stocks in Asia traded sharply lower during today’s early session. Investors were dealing with lots of fundamental data throughout the session whilst also awaiting the U.S. data due to be released later in the day. Investors will react to the data released later which will make the start of the Asian session tomorrow very interesting.

Stocks in the U.S. closed yesterday’s session trading mixed to lower. Stocks started the session gaining following Janet Yellen’s hawkish comments. However, as the session progressed, investors within the region cashed in on their profits and this caused stocks to retract.

Today’s hot asset is, Barclays. The financial giant has been dealing with lots of negative press recently due to some false advertising campaigns. This has been noticed by investors and their share price has already fallen by 2.47% today. Keep an eye on this asset for further movement as the day continues.
