US OPEN: Another poor session for global equities markets

1:52 PM 16 March 2020
  • Panic on global markets continues
  • Fed moves were not enough to calm investors' nerves
  • Fitch downgrades Boeing's (BA.US) rating

Over the weekend FED decided to lower interest rates again by 75 basis points and announced further quantative easing programme to offset the economic impact of the coronavirus outbreak. The decision caused panic in the markets. US futures contracts plunged and hit the lower trading limit. Negative sentiment could also be seen in Asia, where main indexes also suffered significant losses. European indices are also trading in red during today’s session. Dax dropped almost 10%%, CAC 40 went down 10.87%, FTSE 100 is trading 7.58% lower. Today's main event will be the G7 conference scheduled for 2:00 pm GMT. If joint action is agreed between countries, then market sentiment may improve.

S&P 500 (US500) found some support at 2568.2 pts level which we have previously defined. However, if the outcome of the conference will be disappointing then, this level of support can break very quickly and index could re-test the level of 2319.6 pts. Source: xStation5
