Information and Analytical Department of Espero

New trading week has started mixed as stock markets are climbing with European stock indices gaining around 2% and U.S. stock indices advancing even higher by more than 2% to 3,900 points. On the other hand crude prices are going down forming potentially reverse pattern. The U.S. Dollar is strengthening against other major currencies.

The correction in the stock markets is increasing its depth as stock indices in the United States and Europe lost more than 0.5% on Monday. However, other markets turned to be unexpectedly stable. Brent crude prices jumped by more than 2.5%, gold prices gained more than 1.7% and returned in the wide trading range of $1800-1880 per troy ounce. The U.S. Dollar is slightly down despite a general rule that the Greenback should strengthen when stock markets are falling.

Democrats are whipping markets to new highs

Information and Analytical Department of Espero

Bulls take the upper hand at the beginning of the week whipped by the new U.S. administration and Democrats. All the tricks are performed to drive markets to new all-time highs. Those tricks are from Democrats’ legal deceptions to turn flunk the Republicans in large $1.9 trillion relief bill voting to hanky-panky with U.S. labor statistics where unemployment at 6.3% in January was claimed to be a weak result. So, everything is used just to push the large relief bill through the Congress.
