89929 So that’s it. Smell you later January. It’s been emotional. A turbulent month comes to an end with just a whiff of a fightback (Stoxx 600 +0.72%) as bedraggled investors look to dust themselves down and go again. The wounds not quite as deep as they could have been but we still start the […]
89929 Having traded sideways for much of the session yesterday, investors in Europe could have been forgiven for thinking the majority of activity had been frontloaded this week and that the Friday session may prove academic. However, like a bat out of hell from the open Equites were under pressure but unlike recent moves lower […]
89929 January around the corner and for me that means shedding those unwanted kilos that I’ve picked up in December throughout the rest of the year. I’m yet to be convinced by Peloton, but their latest advertisement rebuff to the ‘And just like that’ storyline which saw their stock fall >10% has reminded us all […]
89929 Lack of direction and no clear ideas … and that’s just the England Cricket team. Cheap shot I know but the wind certainly out of their sails overnight and the market struggling a little today too albeit after a monster two day move to the upside. Headlines all a bit bearish on the UK […]
89929 What a day that was. Yesterday’s nibble in the market followed by a full blown all-sector pop as fears that Omicron could put the recovery in doubt almost completely subsided and the markets behaving, well, more like we’re used to. Powell’s hawkish comments around the Thanksgiving holiday also been pushed into the “not that […]
89929 Now I know we told you there wouldn’t be a snapshot today and as much as we don’t like going against our word, we thought the market having it’s biggest move of the year (SXXP-3.7%) warranted a change of heart. The ‘Nu’ Variant or ‘Variant of Concern’ gaining all the attention and met with […]
Now I know we told you there wouldn’t be a snapshot today and as much as we don’t like going against our word, we thought the market having it’s biggest move of the year (SXXP-3.7%) warranted a change of heart. The ‘Nu’ Variant or ‘Variant of Concern’ gaining all the attention and met with a classic case of sell first and ask questions later ensued. A perfect storm really with the Thanksgiving holiday causing a number of absentee’s from the market.
89929 It’s now over a month since either the S&P or the EuroStoxx 50 had a 1% daily move in either direction but the first signs that it was trying to change that trend greeted us this afternoon. Market trading sideways is good news if you’re happy with your performance YTD and have a lot […]
89929 Redburn table tennis doubles tournament this evening which when accompanied with pizza and drinks gets quite the turnout. Alternate shots the real difficulty here, navigating around teammates flailing limbs but very much looking forward to a light-hearted rally, which is incidentally what we’re experiencing in the markets. European markets continue to push higher, charts […]
89929 First time putting a suit and tie on in a couple of years and the top button strain a clear sign that Christmas is around the corner and we all know this is not the time to try and do anything about that. Sadly that feeling is one that is being felt within the […]
