Spreadex Market Update

Trepidation is likely to see European bourses open lower



Trepidation ahead of key data today is likely to see European bourses open lower. With UK unemployment figures set to be announced at 9.30am and Governor Carney speaking along with the Inflation report at 10:30am the UK markets are likely to be volatile this morning as speculators add their two-cents to the mix. European industrial production data is forecast to come in at -0.2%, should this be the case or worse it would help validate the decision by the ECB to cut rates last week.

Asian markets traded down last night as the Chinese Plenum came to an end, with the general feeling being one of disappointment. The failure of the Chinese leaders to address steps to curb the state dominance of the economy and vagueness over financial reform has investors spooked. The decline in Asian markets is seen as a reaction to earlier positioning ahead of the four-day Plenum with sentiment originally being positive that the country’s slowing growth would be addressed as well as a plan to successfully ease the government support, necessary at the time to avoid a credit crunch, now seen as debilitating. The disappointing results of the Plenum are likely to cause volatility for the coming week as investors reverse previous positions.
