Have you ever wondered what sets the tone for the capital markets each day?
Major economic or legislative news stories usually start the day, and as of late have set the tone for the entire day across the globe as the world gets smaller day by day. If the Asian markets have a bad day, they open at around 8:30 PM CST with the European Markets following shortly there after, often times the momentum for the day is carried forward to our markets.
Here is my favorite site from Financial Times that shows an excellent summary of global indexes in close to real time. You will not need a subscription for a few clicks a month and may find it interesting, especially the pop up global macromap in the middle right portion of the page. I hope you enjoy one of my favorite, easy to read global market maps.
Have A Great Day!
