welcome to the acting market minute
here's what we're watching in London on
Thursday morning
well after bullish starts the week the
stock markets following the release of
the French election the mood is now more
muted European forces are lower after
Wall Street pulled back from record
levels and what appear to be a bit of
sell on the news reaction to the Trump
tax cut plans of course the US tax cuts
are one of the main reasons cited for
the post u.s. election full run and it
seems traders want to see solid evidence
that the White House can get its
proposals passed before they get overly
excited again meanwhile it's a very busy
day for company results on both sides of
the Atlantic with Google and Amazon
arguably the highlight there's also a
lot of central bank interest the ECB
delivers its update around lunchtime in
Europe but is expected to stand pat like
it's Japanese period earlier in the
session not the BRICS Bank though Sweden
Central Bank left rate alone but
surprised trades by extending its asset
purchase program the kroner is
consequently falling half a percent but
going the other direction of a loonie
and the peso which are bouncing off the
white house going to stay of execution
for NAFTA
