US markets keep the positive near record highs
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - US equities are advancing on Monday, as last Friday’s Payrolls are still buoying the sentiment. The greenback, tracked by the US Dollar Index, is trading in the positive ground as well, hovering over the 82.35/40 region.
DowJones is up 0.03%, followed by the Nasdaq and the S&P500, gaining 0.47% and 0.27%, respectively.
Across the Atlantic, bourses in Euroland closed in red, led by the IBEX35, losing 0.48%, seconded by the CAC40 and the DAX, down 0.15% and 0.13%, respectively. Markets in the UK remained closed. Tepid results from services PMI, EMU retail sales and the consumer sentiment still in negative ground dragged the indices lower.
The single currency quickly left behind the support at 1.3100 on Draghi’s dovish comments, falling to the vicinity of 1.3050, just to pick up pace later to the current 1.3065/70 region.
In the commodities realm, both the barrel of WTI and the ounce troy of gold are posting gains, up 0.20% at $95.80 and 0.31% at $1,468, respectively.
