US markets climbed after strong Construction Spending data and auto sales. A speech from the Vice Chairman of the Fed, Stanley Fischer, also rocked markets.

Asian markets were mixed today. The Nikkei climbed 0.32% as the Dollar strengthened further against the Yen, climbing to 119.2.

European markets are mixed today. Markets are awaiting tomorrow’s press conference from the ECB as they expect the bank to increase stimulus measures.

Oil declined after reports that Iraq had made an agreement with the Kurdish government. Worries surfaced that oil production could increase and add even more supply to the market. The price declined despite a report from the API which showed US supplies decreased by a higher amount than expected. The EIA will also be releasing inventory data at 3:30pm (GMT) today.

Gold declined as fears over low oil prices subsided and the Dollar rallied. The metal is currently trading around $1200/barrel as the market searches for direction. Traders should focus on US data later in the session including the ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI and Beige Book release.

4 Tips for Today’s Trading - 03/12

: English; SCHOOL; 03 December 2014; 03

Dec; 10 February 2016; Hits: 3241

Here are 4 tips for today's trading. This will help you decide where you should invest and what to look for:

1) Oil Bounces

Oil prices were clawing back more ground -- rising about 1% to $67.40 a barrel in electronic trade -- after taking a beating following OPEC's decision not to cut production last week. That was seen as an attempt to choke off the US shale boom.

2) Mixed Leads

International markets were giving out mixed signals. European stocks notched modest gains in early trading, with Germany's DAX moving higher while the UK FTSE 100 index dipped.

The UK government is set to announce new economic forecasts, and tax and spending plans.

Asian markets also diverged. Hong Kong's Hang Seng shed 1% while the Shanghai Composite extended recent gains to close at a fresh three-year high.

3) Economic Highlights

It's a light day for economic news. The ADP's monthly employment report is due out at 8:15am. ET, followed by the Fed's Beige Book at 2:00pm ET. The monthly report gives anecdotal information about the economy from the 12 regional banks.

4) Earnings Updates

Retailer Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) and Brown-Forman (BFA), the maker of Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey, will report earnings before the opening bell. Retailers Aeropostale (ARO), New York & Co (NWY), Pacific Sunware (PSUN) and Tilly's (TLYS) will report after the close

US markets dropped as technology companies declined while Asian markets climbed across the region.

European markets are higher today with energy companies rising. Attention will now turn to Thursday’s European Central Bank meeting. Investors widely expect the bank to introduce new stimulus measures.

Oil dropped to a 5 year low and then rebounded. The decline was caused by OPECs decision to maintain the current rate of output after a period of higher supplies and lower demand. Traders believed that losses were overstated and the price is now trading around $69/ barrel. The API will release inventory data at 9:30pm (GMT) and if supplies are higher once again the price could fall back down.

Gold dropped to a 4 year low but then rallied and climbed 7%. Gains were seen as the stock market declined and the Dollar experienced a sell off. Demand for the safe haven asset also increased after Moody’s downgraded Japans rating igniting fears over the global economy. The outlook for the Metal is still bearish and traders should focus on Yellen’s comments today at 1:30pm (GMT) as she could spark short term volatility.

4 Tips for Today’s Trading - 02/12

: English; SCHOOL; 02 December 2014; 02

Dec; 10 February 2016; Hits: 3437

Here are 4 tips for today's trading. This will help you decide where you should invest and what to look for:

1) German Stocks Rebound

The benchmark DAX index broke back above 10,000 points, a level last seen in July, on growing expectations that the European Central Bank will buy a broader range of assets to get the eurozone economy moving again.

"Additional asset purchases by the European Central Bank in the near future are much more likely," said Christian Schulz at Berenberg. "The question is no longer if, but when and what?"

The ECB is expected to cut its forecasts for growth and inflation on Thursday. But economists are split over whether it will act this week to bolster its stimulus efforts, or wait until early next year.

All other major European markets were moving higher too.

2) Futures Edge Higher

US stock futures were firmer, pointing to a positive start after markets ended down Monday. The Dow lost nearly 52 points, the S&P 500 slipped 0.7%, and the Nasdaq closed 1.3% lower.

The US Census Bureau will report construction spending at 10:00am ET. Restaurant chain Bob Evans (BOBE) will report quarterly earnings after the closing bell.

3) Oil Resumes Slide

After a rebound Monday, world oil prices are falling again in early trade. US crude futures are down 1%.

4) India Holds Fire

The Reserve Bank of India kept interest rates unchanged, surprising some observers who were expecting a rate cut after growth slowed in the most recent quarter.

India's benchmark Sensex index slipped lower, against a trend of firmer markets elsewhere in Asia.
