Today’s Hot Asset – Amazon

Stocks in the U.S. look set to open the day trading steady. Investors within the U.S. will show some caution at the start of today’s session due to the S&P 500 moving slightly away from the 2000 mark. Investors will be waiting to see what the general consensus is towards yesterday’s late movement before making any major moves.

Stocks in Europe are currently still trading slightly lower, as the session moves into its second half. Investor caution is clearly shining through in the session today, as they react to the rising tensions between Ukraine and Russia. The caution within the markets is creating plenty of volatility which is great news for binary options investors.

Stocks in Asia traded steady throughout the early trading session this morning. Investors in Asia were clinging onto the words delivered by Mario Draghi towards the end of last week and it was his comments that created a subdued atmosphere during today’s session.

Today’s hot asset is, Amazon. The online retailer acquired the game streaming site Twitch yesterday for around $1 billion. Amazon are looking to take a major step into a new market and this will not have gone unnoticed amongst investors which is why this is my hot asset for the day.
