4 Active Stocks to Trade Before Weekend

May 14, 2021

Good Morning!

Yesterday many people in Europe were free due to Ascension Day, but the stock exchanges were open as usual. On Wednesday, the US government announced an inflation rate of no less than 4.2%, the fastest increase since 2008. Investors fear that the US central bank would slack on the brakes sooner than expected. This could possibly mean an end to buy-back programs and possibly lead to an increase in the policy interest rate. In response to this, the stock markets showed a lot of red figures on Wednesday.On Thursday, the stock markets again saw significant losses at opening, but the Federal Reserve caused a sudden turn in sentiment. The S&P 500 closed the day with a gain of 1.22% on 4,112 points and the Nasdaq was up 0.72% to 13,125 points. Yesterday, the US central bank reiterated that investors should not be concerned about rate hikes. Christopher Waller is now the third US central banker to publicly describe high inflation as a temporary phenomenon. Investors seem to appreciate the words. After yesterday's green day, futures are again sharply higher today.
