DAX is one of the most popular indexes in the world. It is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Virtually every day there is very high volatility which gives many trading opportunities.

Session Summary 11.07.2017

Investors in the US stock markets, but also in Europe, await Janet Yellen’s speech today, which will present a six-monthly monetary policy report for both US Congress on Wednesday and Thursday. However, there is no expectation of a breakthrough in FOMC rhetoric. Federal Reserve will continue to maintain the need for raising interest rates and reducing its balance sheet total, but everything will depend on the economic situation in the US.

The market is increasingly boldly voiced about the possible tightening of monetary policy by the ECB. Last weekend some of the representatives spoke on this topic, although we have to admit that the sentences were different. However, one has to ask whether these different voices are a well-thought-out strategy, so as not to frighten the markets.

Today, the Nikkei index ended the day with -0.48%. Yesterday the S&P 500 closed at a small minus of -0.08%. Also DAX ended the day under the line, which amounted to -0.07%.
