Today’s Hot Asset – Boeing

Stocks in the U.S. closed yesterday’s session trading slightly higher. Investors reacted well to the information they received once the Federal Reserve’s meeting minutes for July were released. The news pointed towards a healthier outlook for the labor market and as a result this gave investors an appetite for riskier assets. This is what lead to equity values rising steadily throughout the session.

Stocks in Europe traded lower during yesterday’s trading session. Investors within Europe took advantage of the opportunity to cash in on their profits created from the previous two sessions, as yesterday’s session seemed to be relatively slow. This should create plenty of attractive positions for binary options traders during today’s session.

Stocks in Asia started to slide during this mornings trading session. Disappointing Chinese manufacturing data eclipsed all the other positive regional data today and as a result investors looked towards safe haven assets such as gold. This lead to stock prices falling steadily throughout the session.

Today’s hot asset is, Boeing. The aeronautical company had a very successful day yesterday, as they saw their share price increase by 1.41% making it one of the best performing equities within the U.S. This movement will not have gone unnoticed by investors, so expect more reaction once the U.S. session opens today.
