Dow Jones Industrial Average futures traded 29 points lower, with an implied Monday opening loss of 5 points. S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures also pointed to a little changed open for the two indexes. The moves in futures had earlier followed positive momentum in Monday trade for Asia, with Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index surging more than 3% in the morning. That came as data showed China’s manufacturing activity in expanding in May. Investors have been monitoring China’s economic data for signs of recovery in the country, where the coronavirus was first reported. Looking ahead, here’s what traders were monitoring heading into the new month: States continue to reopen their economies after the coronavirus pandemic forced the country to shutter nonessential businesses. The reopening is now taking place amid widespread protests across the U.S. over police brutality. Traders are also grappling with rising tensions between China and the U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday the U.S. would end its special treatment towards Hong Kong. The announcement came after China had approved a national security bill that would increase the mainland’s power over the city. However, Wall Street breathed a sigh of relief as Trump did not say he would pull the U.S. out of the phase one trade deal reached earlier this year. Disappointing trial results from Pfizer for a breast cancer drug dampened market sentiment. The company made the announcement Friday evening, sending its stock down more than 6% in after-hours trading. “Nothing that has happened since the market closed on Friday has been market positive,” said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at National Securities. “When you think about clearly we’re beginning to take U.S.-China tensions seriously and you add on to that the massive amount of disruption going on in almost every major city in the country right now, none of that could be seen as market positive.” “At the levels we’re at, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the market take a pause and pull back,” Hogan added. The S&P 500 and Dow each gained at least 3% last week while the Nasdaq Composite advanced 1.8% to close out May. Those gains were propelled by increasing bets by traders that the global economy will successfully reopen after the coronavirus forces a shutdown of most economic activity. Last week’s gains led the major averages to their first back-to-back monthly advances since late 2019. The Dow and S&P 500 gained 4.3% and 4.5%, respectively, for May while the Nasdaq Composite advanced 6.8%. That advance also put the S&P 500 up 38% from its intraday low set on March 23. “The main downside risk facing stocks is a second wave of the disease,” said Peter Berezin, chief global strategist at BCA Research, in a note to clients. “If fears of a new outbreak were to escalate, risk assets would suffer.” Berezin added, however, he recommends a “modest overweight” portfolio allocation to stocks, noting: “Even if a vaccine does not become available later this year, increased testing should allow for a more economically palatable approach to containment strategies.” More than 6 million coronavirus cases have been confirmed globally, including over 1.7 million in the U.S., according to Johns Hopkins University. However, Novavax said last week is started Phase 1 clinical trials for its coronavirus vaccine candidate while Moderna said May 18 its early stage vaccine trial had yielded positive results. EUROPE & UK European markets head for lower open as U.S. protests shake confidence London’s FTSE is seen opening 55 points lower at 6,174, France’s CAC 40 is expected to open 148 points lower at 11,660 and Italy’s FTSE MIB is seen 97 points lower at 18,181, according to IG. MarkEts are closed in Austria, Denmark, Germany, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland for a public holiday. Investors around the world will be focused on widespread civil unrest unfolding in the U.S. European stocks are expected to open lower Monday as protests continue across the U.S. following the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man, at the hands of the Minneapolis police last week. London’s FTSE is seen opening 55 points lower at 6,174, France’s CAC 40 is expected to open 148 points lower at 11,660 and Italy’s FTSE MIB is seen 97 points lower at 18,181, according to IG. Markets are closed in Austria, Denmark, Germany, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland for a public holiday. Investors around the world will be focused on widespread civil unrest unfolding in the U.S.; hundreds of people were arrested over the weekend as protesters and police clashed in cities across America after the killing of George Floyd sparked more than 100 protests, rallies and vigils, according to NBC News. Derek Chauvin, the officer filmed kneeling on Floyd’s neck, was arrested and charged with murder and manslaughter. The arrest and charges failed to quell public anger over the death, however, and protests, some violent, have continued. Mayors of major cities from Los Angeles to Philadelphia to Atlanta imposed curfews and at least 12 states, as well as Washington, D.C., activated National Guard troops. At the same time, the coronavirus pandemic remains in the spotlight. The number of coronavirus cases globally has now topped more than 6.1 million and the death toll stands at 372,037, a tally from Johns Hopkins University shows. Stocks in Asia Pacific were higher in Monday morning trade as Chinese data release over the weekend showed the country’s factory activity expanding in May, with the official manufacturing Purchasing Manager’s Index (PMI) coming in at 50.6. That was a decline from the 50.8 print in April and below the 51.0 level expected by analysts, according to Reuters. Still, the figure for May was above the 50 level, which separates expansion from contraction in PMI readings. There are no major earnings Monday. Spanish new car registrations data for May is due, as well as final manufacturing PMI data for several European countries. ASIA Hong Kong surges more than 3%; China’s Shenzhen stocks up 3% as China’s May factory activity expands Shares in Asia Pacific were higher on Monday, with Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index surging more than 3% in morning trade. Investor focus on Monday was likely also on Chinese economic data for a better gauge of the state of the country’s economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. Stocks in Asia Pacific were higher in Monday afternoon trade as a Chinese data release over the weekend showed the country’s factory activity expanding in May. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index led gains among the region’s major indexes, surging 3.22% by the afternoon, with shares of life insurer AIA soaring 5.57%. U.S. President Donald Trump announced Friday he would be taking action to eliminate special treatment for Hong Kong, following China’s approval of a controversial national security bill for the city. “Admittedly, Trump’s presser on action against China for implementing the Hong Kong Security Bill, which the White House has alleged strips Hong Kong of any autonomy, proved to be more bark than bite,” Vishnu Varathan, head of economics and strategy at Mizuho Bank, wrote in a note. “With specific and verifiable measures against China appearing to be weak, markets may draw hollow consolation that the US is treading carefully; especially given risks of unintended economic consequences of far more damage being caused to Hong Kong and non-negligible harm to US economic interests,” Varathan said. Mainland Chinese stocks also saw robust gains, with the Shanghai composite up around 2% while the Shenzhen component surged 3.05%. In Japan, the Nikkei 225 added 0.93% in afternoon trade as shares of index heavyweight and conglomerate Softbank Group jumped 3.7%. The Topix index also traded 0.34% higher. South Korea’s Kospi rose 1.34%. Reuters reported Monday that the country’s exports in May fell 23.7% year-on-year. That was worse than expectations in a Reuters poll of a median drop of 22.1% year-on-year. Meanwhile, shares in Australia edged higher, with the S&P/ASX 200 up 0.64%. Overall, the MSCI Asia ex-Japan index jumped 2.13%. Investor focus on Monday was likely on Chinese economic data for a better gauge of the state of the country’s economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. Data released over the weekend by China’s National Bureau of Statistics showed factory activity in the country expanding in May, with the official manufacturing Purchasing Manager’s Index (PMI) coming in at 50.6. That was a decline from the 50.8 print in April and below the 51.0 level expected by analysts, according to Reuters. Still, the figure for May was above the 50 level, which separates expansion from contraction in PMI readings.

  • Are Retail Investors Less Aggressive on Small Price Stocks?
    Are retail investors less aggressive on small price stocks? Carole M´etais∗ Tristan Rogery January 13, 2021 Abstract In this paper, we investigate whether number processing impacts the limit orders of retail investors. Building on existing literature in neuropsychology that shows that individuals do not process small numbers and large numbers in the same way, we study the influence of nominal stock price level on order aggressiveness. Using a unique database that allows us to identify order and trade records issued by retail investors on Euronext Paris, we show that retail investors, when posting non-marketable orders, are less aggressive on small price stocks than on large price stocks. This difference in order aggressiveness is not explained by differences in liquidity and other usual drivers of order aggressiveness. We provide additional evidence by showing that no such difference exists for limit orders of high frequency traders (HFTs) over the same period and the same sample of stocks. This finding confirms that our results are driven by a behavioral bias and not by differential market dynamics between small price stocks and large price stocks. ∗LaRGE Research Center, University of Strasbourg { Mailing address: 61 Avenue de la For^etNoire, 67000 Strasbourg FRANCE { Email: [email protected].

Price Clustering in the CAC 40 Index Options Market Abstract We examine in details the pattern and systematic tendencies of clustering in CAC 40 index option transaction prices during the 1997-1999 period. Similar to extant studies in many financial markets, there is evidence of strong clustering at full index points and option prices are 90% more likely to end with the digit 0 (multiples of 10) than with the digit 5. While the 1999 contract downsizing led to some reduction in clustering at full index point, the basic pattern of clustering remains intact. The pattern of clustering rejects the attraction theory, but is consistent with the notion of cost recovery by market makers. We find important drivers for CAC 40 index option price clustering, namely, the level of option premium, option volume and underlying asset volatility.

  • DAX Vs S&P 500 – INSPECTION of a SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP
    DAX vs S&P 500 – INSPECTION OF A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP by Tobias Stoehr – Spectrum Markets When the S&P 500 moves up, the DAX rises, too. When the S&P 500 moves down, so does the DAX. The indices’ similar performance patterns – although there are some notable exceptions – have left investors intrigued and puzzled for decades. The Standard & Poor’s 500 (S&P 500), launched 63 years ago in the United States of America, is one of the most quoted stock indices in the world. And as such, the index is not only a guiding force for the DAX in Germany but also for the leading indices of many other countries. Indeed, the famous saying “When Wall Street sneezes the rest of the world catches a cold” is not least a reference to the S&P 500: its loss of points sometimes leads to even more severe losses of other indices. Then again, when markets turn, the latter may recover more quickly than the S&P 500. The prominence of the index as one of the best overall indicators of market performance can be ascribed to its great diversification: By tracking 500 US-based large-cap companies in various industries (all listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq), the S&P 500 represents the US economy as a whole. At least, that’s the intention. As a capitalisation-weighted index, stocks with higher market caps affect the average more. Yet, the selection of the components doesn’t follow strict rules. Rather, a committee periodically picks the companies based on criteria such as market capitalisation, financial viability, liquidity and length of time publicly traded.
