TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

The DAX continues to show volatility this week. After sharp losses early in the week, the index posted gains on Wednesday, but has again headed lower in Thursday trade. The slide was caused by a sharp fall in technological stocks, which sent U.S markets nosediving and spread to the Asian and European markets. The DAX has had a dismal fourth quarter, losing 6.67% in October and 2.1% in November. This is reflective of sharp losses in global equity markets, as nervous investors fret over the economic ramifications from the escalating trade war between the U.S. and China. The trade war has already caused a slowdown in the Chinese economy, and analysts are expecting the U.S economy to slow, with talk of a recession being bandied about. With no signs that the U.S or China will back down, traders can expect more headwinds for global stock markets, many of which have given up their year-to-date gains..
