Spreadex Market Update

Euro markets open firmly



European markets opened firmly today as investors were buoyed by reports from Goldman Sachs released yesterday that the FTSE100 will hit all-time highs within 12 months. The report is sitting particularly well with investors as the general consensus prior to the report was that much of the optimism within the markets was based on sentiment instead of data. Thus, the bullishness from analysts is perhaps an indication that this year’s rally is far from over. 

In addition, news reports that EU policy officials are set to remove the rigid financial chains imposed by Germany in an attempt to help control rising unemployment across the Eurozone is also being applauded by investors. Clearly investors were concerned that the measures were too draconian and would stunt growth in some Eurozone nations.

However, it would be interesting to see whether the announcement will impede Germany’s support for struggling Eurozone nations in the long-term as EU officials seem to no longer want to sing to Germany’s tune.
