Binary options on U.S. stocks fell on Monday following renewed European concerns. Market participants stepped back to safe-haven assets following the negative news from the last couple of days. International Monetary Fund officials expressed worries about Greece ability to continue serving its debt, which brought back concerns about the Eurozone future. Yesterday evening Moody’s changed its outlook for Germany, Netherlands and Luxemburg to “negative” from “stable” on higher chances that Greece could leave the monetary union.
Today major market averages are recovering from the initial loss, trading around the par three hours before the close bell. The German DAX index is trading 3 points higher at 6422.67, after it was falling with 0.64% to 6378.01 in early session. CAC 40 is currently unchanged from yesterday’s close at 3101.15, recovering from 3085.55.
In U.S. the session is expected to start lower, following the European concerns. The economic calendar for today contains House Price index for May and Richmond Fed manufacturing index for July, both scheduled for 14:00 GMT.
