Yesterday's trading day was an extremely successful trading day for investors . Both the EuroStoxx and the German leading index closed significantly higher than the previous day. The move taken by the US government to initiate peace solutions between Russia and Ukraine seemed to be very well received on the financial markets, despite controversial discussion at the political level. Most European markets are pricing in this initiative by the US president positively.
British stocks with setbacks - opportunity at Barclays?
One of the exceptions was the British FTSE 100 Index, which fell by more than 0.5 percent yesterday. The published company results were too negative. British and American Tobacco, Unilever and Barclays overshadowed the day's events and sent investors and investors outlook with their figures. The share of British and American Tobacco fell by more than 9 percent. The sell-off at Barclays is interesting to look at. The bank and investment house reported very good figures and announced a share buyback program, but still had to fall by more than 5 percent. Basically, Barclays could be a good buying opportunity. The stock has an intact upward trend and there are actually no reasons to sell the stock in such a way, especially against the background of a share buyback program.
Record days in the DAX continue! 23,000 points already today?
The German benchmark index DAX continues to soar, currently posting new record highs almost daily. It was already the fourth all-time high in a row. The corporate results of the DAX companies are still very positive and the outlook in the reports is also correct. The still existing undervaluation of German companies continues to drive investors into the market and the 23,000 point mark in the DAX is only a matter of time. The share of the arms manufacturer Rheinmetall jumped up by more than 9 percent, but the battered car manufacturers were also able to convince yesterday, Thursday. The shares of Mercedes and Porsche grew by 4 and 6 percent, respectively. Not to forget the Siemens share, which also ignited the turbo and was able to post a 6 percent price premium.
