Mixed session for the main European stock indexes, while Asian stocks had a positive session. On the other hand, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq experienced losses for the second consecutive session, as investors closed their positions with large profits right after the indexes reached record-high levels.
The price of the crude increased (Brent +2.5%), fueled by a release of lower-than-expected US crude oil inventories. Gas prices eased and gold closed lower for the second consecutive session. Today, investors will be attentive on data releases (like Initial Jobless Claims or Existing Home Sales) in the US and the interest rate decision of the Central Bank of Switzerland.
