The rise in Europe continues

We are approaching the European market close and the momentum from the beginning of the day remains unbroken. Compared to this, the increase in the USA became a little more restrained, the initial minuses at the index level of around 1 percent decreased to 0.6-0.7 percent compared to the opening.

Strong opening in America

As in Europe, the American indexes also started the day with a significant gain, the Dow went up by 1 percent, while the S&P 500 rose by 1.1 percent, and the Nasdaq is up by 1 percent. Part of the upbeat sentiment can be attributed to the fact that the Credit Suisse bailout eased concerns about a larger banking crisis. Meanwhile, investors are already awaiting the results of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy meeting (due tomorrow), where the market is now largely pricing in a 25 basis point rate hike, compared to the 50 basis points expected before the collapse of SVB and Signature Bank.

With its 2 percent rise, BUX is at the forefront of Europe, which is mainly due to the rise of OTP, although bank shares are bought practically all over Europe. OTP’s significant index weight, on the other hand, is significantly reflected in the performance of BUX.
