Wall Street is ultimately a little easier – ATX closes in positive territory – DAX ends trading lower after another record high – positive signs predominate in Asia | 12/29/20

December 29, 2020 by drbyos

Investors held back on the US stock exchanges. The domestic market was slightly higher in Tuesday trade. The German leading index was in the red after another record high. The majority of the markets in the Far East were profitable.

AUSTRIA

The Viennese trade was characterized by profits on Tuesday.

The ATX was already listed in the plus shortly after the start of trading and then also rose. At the end of the trading day, the leading index was still showing gains of 0.60 percent to 2,778.23 points.

Market observers mainly referred to the good US guidelines. The signature of US President Trump on another multi-billion dollar corona stimulus package had brought Wall Street new record highs the night before. The most important US stock market indices reached new highs.

As expected, the number of reports on domestic companies remained thin between the holidays. There was also no stronger stimulus from the economic side.

GERMANY

Investors in Germany held back on Tuesday.

The leading German index DAX started a little harder and then kept its plus signs. At times it reached a new record high at 13,903.11 points. In the afternoon, however, he changed the sign and was listed in the red, where he also ended trading 0.21 percent lower at 13,761.38 points.

On Monday, the DAX managed to jump over 13,800 points for the first time in its history, after major uncertainties had previously been cleared out of the way with the Brexit trade pact and the US Corona aid package. Tailwind for the stock market came from the Asian stock exchanges, some of which closed significantly in positive territory.

In Asia, too, it was seen as positive that the US House of Representatives had voted for an increase in Corona aid payments to citizens. However, it is questionable whether the move will also get the approval of the Senate, which is dominated by the Republicans. The Republicans there had repeatedly spoken out against a more generous stimulus package.

Nevertheless, investors’ willingness to buy shares remained high for the time being, said comdirect market expert Andreas Lipkow. Further investor money also poured into European and thus German stocks. “The stock market year 2020 can definitely be seen from this aspect,” the expert summed up.

WALL STREET

After the record highs from the previous day, Wall Street trading was marked by slight bumps on Tuesday.

The Dow Jones started the day a little higher, but moved more easily over the course of the day. With 30,588.79 positions it has meanwhile marked a new record high. From the trade it was ultimately with a small minus of 0.22 percent to 30,335.67 units.

Also the NASDAQ Composite ultimately fell 0.38 percent to 12,850.22 positions. It had risen at the opening and soon after the start of trading, it cracked the record high of 12,973.33 points.

After new price records on Tuesday in early trading, the rally on the US stock exchanges lost momentum. Speculation about an even bigger corona stimulus package in the USA had initially fueled the record hunt once again.

ASIA

On Tuesday things were mainly uphill in Asia.

The leading Japanese index Nikkei was ultimately able to gain 2.66 percent to 27,568.15 points, after having climbed to the highest level in around 30 years at 27,602.52 points.

In mainland China it went for the Shanghai Composite meanwhile a slight 0.54 percent to 3,379.04 points. The Hang Seng in Hong Kong, meanwhile, posted a premium of 0.96 percent to 26,568.49 units.

After the latest records on Wall Street and elsewhere, the Japanese Nikkei 225 index climbed to its highest level in around 30 years on Tuesday. On the Chinese stock exchanges, on the other hand, the price development was inconsistent: while the trading venues on the mainland fell, things were clearly up in Hong Kong.
At the beginning of the week, investors around the world celebrated the decision of US President Donald Trump to give up his opposition to a corona stimulus package of around USD 900 billion passed by Congress with a bipartisan majority: All the major stock indices on Wall Street and also the German DAX reached record levels.

ATX trends: OMV, SBO, Bawag, Erste, RBI, Mayr-Melnhof, Vienna Airport …

December 10, 2020 by drbyos

The Vienna Stock Exchange posted clear premiums on Wednesday. The Austrian leading index ATX rose by 1.31 percent to 2,669.98 points. After even more significant ATX gains of almost two percent, the record hunt on Wall Street, which has now been halted, also caused price gains on the European stock exchanges to melt away somewhat.
In the absence of any fundamental economic news, the international focus was on the EU’s Brexit negotiations with Great Britain, which remained open-ended. On the other hand, according to media reports, there is a concrete proposal for a solution to the dispute over the blockade of the EU budget by Poland and Hungary.
The reporting situation on the company side was very thin on the domestic market. The analysts from Berenberg Bank came up with new assessments of Verbund and OMV. The securities experts have revised their price target for the shares of the domestic utility Verbund upwards from 40.00 to 68.00 euros. In addition, the “Buy” recommendation was reaffirmed. The Verbund titles gained 1.4 percent to EUR 59.70. The analysts at Berenberg Bank have also confirmed their “Buy” rating for OMV. At the same time, the target price for the shares of the domestic oil and gas company was adjusted upwards from EUR 34.0 to EUR 38.0. OMV shares reacted with a significant increase of 2.2 percent to 32.84 euros.

The OMV subsidiary Borealis expects a “decent” fourth quarter, it was also announced. Already in the third quarter things went “steeply up”, said company boss Alfred Stern in the “Kurier”.

The heavily weighted banks showed consistently positive signs. Erste Group’s shareholders posted a gain of 1.8 percent. BAWAG prices rose by 1.0 percent and Raiffeisen Bank International saw an increase of 1.2 percent.

On the other hand, there was a price weakness at Schoeller-Bleckmann. The title of the Lower Austrian oil field supplier slipped 3.5 percent lower. In the real estate sector, s Immo was 2.3 percent cheaper.

Corporate news

Börse Express – Oil prices inconsistent

November 27, 2020 by drbyos

Oil prices initially did not find a clear direction on Friday. In the morning, a barrel (159 liters) of North Sea Brent cost $ 47.81. That was two cents more than at the close of trading the previous day. The price for a barrel of the US West Texas Intermediate (WTI), however, fell by 70 cents to 45.01 dollars.

Most recently, oil prices have fallen again after reaching their highest level since the first Corona wave in spring during the week. The prospect of virus vaccines soon available is providing a boost to the oil market. The hope is that restrictions to contain the pandemic could then be removed, which would benefit the economy and increase oil consumption. Rapid and widespread vaccinations are unlikely, however.

In this situation, the major oil-producing countries will have to decide on their production policy at the beginning of next week. It is expected that the Opec + oil network, contrary to the previous plan, will not increase its production at the beginning of 2021, but will instead continue existing production limits. In this way, the association would react to the short-term economic dampener as a result of the current virus wave./bgf/mis

ATX starts the weekend stable – DAX closes on a friendly basis – US stock market ends more easily – Asian stock exchanges ultimately mixed | 11/20/20

November 20, 2020 by drbyos

On the domestic stock market, investors held back before the weekend, whereas they took hold of the German stock exchanges. Wall Street traders were reluctant on Friday. The Asian stock exchanges had meanwhile continued the inconsistent development on Thursday.

AUSTRIA

The Vienna Stock Exchange presented itself virtually unchanged before the weekend.

The ATX had already been clearly in the plus in the morning and then stayed in the profit zone for a long time. In the afternoon, however, the mood clouded a little and the leading index ended Friday trading a minimal 0.01 percent lower at 2,502.67 points.

In the afternoon there was again good news about a corona vaccine. BioNTech and the US pharmaceutical giant Pfizer have applied for emergency approval for their corona vaccine with the US Food and Drug Administration. Shipment of the vaccine, called BNT162b2, could begin later this year if approved. However, even after the vaccines have been approved, it will still be some time before enough people have actually been vaccinated.

Two vaccines against the novel corona virus could also be approved in Europe this year, it became known in the morning. “If everything goes without problems”, the vaccine candidates from Pfizer / BioNtech and Moderna could receive conditional marketing approval “in the second half of December 2020”, said EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

These positive developments in the area of an effective vaccine were contrasted with increasing numbers of new infections, lockdowns and an economic slowdown worldwide. In addition, US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin caused uncertainty because, contrary to the recommendations of the Federal Reserve, he announced the end of some billion dollar Corona aid programs.

GERMANY

Before the weekend, investors in Germany grabbed something.

The leading German index DAX was able to shake off his initial losses, but the momentum was limited. Ultimately, the leading German index went 0.39 percent higher at 13,137.25 points into the weekend.

For days, investors have not been able to make a clear decision between worries about the effects of high numbers of corona infections and the hope that several vaccines against the virus will soon be available. The number of new COVID-19 infections in Germany continued to rise. The Robert Koch Institute reported 23,648 new corona infections – a high. The previous peak had been reached a week ago.

“Investors now want more than just success stories about a vaccine. Theoretical and practical benefits are currently being weighed in gold,” commented market expert Timo Emden from Emden Research. The vaccine euphoria of the previous week is now clouded by logistical challenges and questions about effectiveness. With a view to the weekend, investors could also realize a few profits, believes Emden.

From a company perspective, the news situation was rather thin. The agenda showed that corporate reporting season is almost over.

WALL STREET

Wall Street investors kept their feet still at the end of a turbulent week.

The Dow Jones entered Friday trading at a small discount and continued to decline. The US leading index closed 0.75 percent easier at 29,263.28 points. The NASDAQ Composite also had to accept a minus of 0.42 percent to 11,854.97 points after it had already started a little lower.

Investors continued to act between corona worries and vaccine optimism, even after Pfizer and BioNTech have now submitted an application for emergency approval for their vaccine to the US health authorities and are fueling hopes that, if the case is favorable, it will come onto the market this year could.

“We’re seeing negative things in the short term,” said Paul Jackson, investment expert at Invesco, summarizing that in the course of the week so far there have been various reports of lockdowns or tightened measures to contain the pandemic in Europe and some US states. “The markets are busy trying to reconcile this with the longer-term positive news around a vaccine,” he explains the current market forces.

Jackson expects an up and down in the coming months. After that, a vaccine and the opening of the economy should lead to a rally.

The numbers on the corona front in the USA meanwhile showed a deterioration in every respect, for example among the newly infected, which was almost 188,000 on Thursday, 10,000 more than the previous day.

The fact that the chances of a corona aid package from the US government have apparently increased again provided a glimmer of hope. After investors had recently written off this, Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell has now agreed to restart negotiations. The US Federal Reserve has long been calling for more government support during the crisis.

Less well received was that US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin refused to extend several emergency loan programs set up jointly with the US Federal Reserve (Fed), which are due to expire on December 31.

ASIA

On Friday, the major stock exchanges in Asia showed no consistent trend.

The leading Japanese index Nikkei closed with a loss of 0.42 percent at 25,527.37 units – the third day in a row with losses. The infection numbers in Japan had reached new highs.

In mainland China, on the other hand, it rose Shanghai Composite by the end of trading by 0.44 percent to 3,377.73 points. In Hong Kong the Hang Seng meanwhile, 0.36 percent to 26,451.54 counters.

Investors were caught in the tension between new lockdown measures – also in Asia – in the corona pandemic on the one hand and hopes that an economic stimulus package would come about in the USA on the other. There, Democrats and Republicans in Congress seemed to be converging again in view of the high Corona numbers. However, a new dispute has broken out between the administration of incumbent US President Donald Trump and the US Federal Reserve over the need for pandemic aid.

However, the meeting was dominated by the corona crisis. The prime ministers in Japan and South Korea urged vigilance to curb the spread of the corona virus. Traders therefore described trading as characterized by short-term concerns and long-term opportunities.

Börse Express – Vienna Stock Exchange (opening) – ATX slips into the red in the morning / Profits in bank stocks curb downward movement of the ATX – Still no decision in the US presidential election

November 6, 2020 by drbyos

The Vienna Stock Exchange showed slight price losses on Friday morning. The domestic lead index ATX turned negative after initial spikes and lost 0.34 percent to 2,168.53 units by 10:05 a.m., the ATX Prime fell 0.33 percent to 1,108.71 points. The five-day profit streak of the leading index seems to be coming to an end for the time being.

There is still no decision in the US presidential election, but everything points to a victory for Joe Biden. In the midst of the hangover over the outcome of the US election, the Federal Reserve is preparing the ground for new economic aid. It left the key interest rate in the range of zero to 0.25 percent on Thursday and at the same time kept the door open for new emergency aid in the corona pandemic.

In addition, worries about rising corona numbers are likely to lead to increasing uncertainty again. “The virus continues to spread unchecked in the USA,” writes Commerzbank.
