The movement of global stock markets is very sensitive to the news which is associated with the trade battle between the US & China, and other macro-economic variables. Not so long ago, it can be said that the global market players were closely tracking the US Federal Reserve meeting. As we know that the important meeting ended with Federal Reserve keeping the interest rates unchanged. It was important for the market players to track the meeting largely because it provides the broader overview of the stock markets globally and a general idea of how the global economy has performed or how it could perform moving forward.
However, it can be assumed that, in the next week, the global investors would be waiting for the G20 summit. The summit can be considered as a primary factor which could be responsible for the movement of stock markets because it would consist of the trade talks between the US and China. On June 21, 2019, Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the day in red as the index was closed at 26,719.13 which implies a fall of 34.04 points or 0.13%. However, S&P 500 index was also down by 3.72 points or 0.13% and was closed at 2,950.46. The next week could be a crucial one for the broader movement of the global stock markets.
Oil Prices Could Be Affected by Macro-Factors, Stock Marketsâ Movement
The oil prices are affected by several factors like geopolitical tensions, movement of stock markets as well as by other macro-economic variables. However, in the present scenario, it could be said that these prices are being affected by the tensions between the United States and Iran. Also, the prices of oil can get affected by the trade talks between the US and China and, even for the investors which track the oil prices, the G20 summit is very important.
