January Sales Continue On Stock Markets

On Monday, the main stock indices of Europe showed negative dynamics due to a heavy decrease in activity of the banking sector. From the macroeconomic statistics which were published yesterday, attention should be paid to indexes of business activity for January in the industries of Switzerland, Germany, Great Britain, and also as a whole the Eurozone. In the Eurozone, the indicator increased from 53.9 points to 54 points, in Switzerland from 55 points to 56.1 points, in Germany from 56.3 points to 56.5 points, and in Great Britain it decreased from 57.2 points to 56.7 points.

As a result, the index of Great Britain, the FTSE 100, went down by 0.7%, the French CAC 40 became 1.4% easier, and the German DAX went to a minus by 1.3%. The regional STXE 600 indicator decreased by 1.3% and was closed on a level of 318.21 points.

The situation in the American market also sharply weakened after the publication of an unexpectedly weak report on the industrial ISM index in the USA. In January, this indicator decreased from 56.5 points to 51.3 points, whilst analysts expected 56 points.

As a result, the Dow Jones Industrial Average index decreased by 2.08% to the level of 15372.8 points. The S&P 500 lost 2.28% reaching a level of 1741.89 points, and the Nasdaq Composite fell by 2.61% to the level of 3996.96 points.

Asian markets didn't have any other choice but to follow the negative European and American trading sessions. The MSCI Asia-Pacific index decreased by 2.3%, which is the strongest decrease in the past eight months. The Japanese Nikkei is losing 4.17% this morning , and Futsee-100 falls by 0.54%. Shanghai Composite also decreases by 0.82%.
