Stock Markets Look to Merkel and Sarkozy for More
Upside
The markets are higher on the day a panic has subsided. The
SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) is trading at $119.26,
+1.14 (+0.97%) on 89,607,142 in volume. All eyes have turned
towards Merkel and Sarkozy, the two leaders from Germany and
France. They will be meeting tomorrow to discuss key initiatives to
help the Eurozone.
The stock market leaders today are banks. In the fear and
volatility over the last few weeks, the bank stocks took the
biggest hit. It makes sense that as calm returns, these stocks
would see a continued solid bounce. Bank of America
Corp (BAC) is trading at $7.49, +0.30 (+4.17%) and
JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) is trading at
$36.57, +0.66 (+1.84%).
Technology seems to be the weakest on the day after
Google Inc. (GOOG) bought out Motorola
Mobility Holdings Inc (MMI) for $40.00 per share. This is
causing some selling in Google. Many technology stocks have seen a
rapid share price increase over the last few trading days as well.
The market seems to need a small pause to digest the gains.
The market continue to look towards the Merkel-Sarkozy meeting
tomorrow. Great news and optimism could give more legs to the
latest bounce while no news and pessimism could give rise to
another sharp, quick sell off.
