The global stock markets are extremely sensitive to the global macro-economic conditions and news related to the economic variables. The performance of the global economy can also influence the sentiments of the market players. If the global disturbances increases or if the trade tensions between the US and China gets worse, the investors might decide to avoid making deployments towards the equities and they can also start liquidating their present holdings. The movement of stock markets are also affected by the decision taken in the US Federal Reserve meeting and by the comments from the Federal Reserve Chairman.
The earnings season can also influence the movement of stock markets and the investors should closely track the corporate earnings. Visa Inc. would be releasing its earnings report on July 23, 2019 while, its competitor, Mastercard Incorporated would be releasing the earnings on July 30, 2019.
