Market information
Friday, August 27, 2010
Continuing worries on global economic recovery and the revision of the American gross domestic product on Friday, dropped the Dow Jones below the 10.000 points. Initially the sentiment on the American stock markets was positive resulting from figures showing intitial jobless claims had fallen more than expected.
The AEX closed higher as a result of better than expected company results for, among others, TenCate and BAM on Thursday. Besides company results, an increasing figure on Dutch producer's confidence (from -2.4 in July to 0.4 in August) gave a further boost to the performance of the AEX. The AEX closed 0.8% higher at 314.
Stock markets turn more positive (after a sharp downturn in the beginning of this week), as a result of an increase in German consumer confidence figures. The euro advancing against the US dollar becomes more evident. The euro rose 0.5% to USD 1.2727 against the US dollar.
The 6M Euribor remained unchanged at 1.14%. The 10Y Swap decreased with 3 basis points to 2.35%.
