I thought that atleast today I could see European Equity in an increasing trend. But alas, it didn’t. In my opinion the stocks may still go down till the end of this week. Let’s hope for the best.

Fuels getting higher



The petroleum spot price has always been on top. Since 2004 the Average Petroleum spot price has risen by 31% and further increased to 50% in 2005 and till date it has been doing well by making it 65$ a barrel. But there has been always tight conditions in the oil market. Sometimes the supply increases sometimes the demand increases as a result always the Gulf used the main center for supply. There are many factors which makes the oil market congested. They may be the geo-political developments, fears of potential supply disruptions and as always speculation.

Of course it is different issue that OPEC is the key supplier of crude oil and stands at the top in the crude oil market which currently provides about 45% of world supply of crude oil. The reason why the crude oil supply increased in 2004 is because the consumption of the crude oil increased by 2.9%. And in 2005 too the OPEC had increased its stability to meet the customer’s demand as the consumption figure was growing. And the consumption is still going on till date. We can see it live as the oil price today according to Bloomberg data is 66$ a barrel.

In my opinion, there will be a huge competition in the energy market and future will be dominated by energy market with energetic men owing energetic fuels like crude oil.

Drops in European Equity!!!

The European stocks before last week were doing well but unfortunately the stocks have declined for the first time in the last week on Monday 04th June 2007 just because the Deutsche Bank AG and BNP Paribas shares being at high. Owing to that the Dow Jones Stoxx 600 index lost 0.3% to 399.3 that day.

And even the Stoxx 50 fell to 0.3% and the U.K’s FTSE 100 too fell by 0.2%. It was anticipated that the following day i.e on Tuesday 05th June 2007 the stocks will be in their normal position, but the anticipation was reversed. On Tuesday too the stocks fell down by 0.1% making it a routine for the next following two days too (i.e on Wednesday and Thursday) 6th and 7th June respectively. On Friday 8th June 2007 the stocks again fell by 1.4%.

So, the Last week was full of drops in the European Equity.

The Shareholders and Traders were expecting a fresh start for the European Equity in this week, but it is expected that the Dow Jones Stoxx 600 will fall by 0.1% making it to 385.09. And the Euro Stoxx 50 Index a benchmark for the 13 nations using the Euro will be decreased by 0.1% to 4376.42.

In my opinion, if the Central Bank is sure of raising the interest rates then the European Equity will be in depreciating condition. Since, still the central bank has not yet decided anything, so I hope the European Equity will cope up with the current situation.

Why the European Stocks are down?


From past four days the European stocks have been decreasing slowly and again on the fourth day too the stocks fell making it the longest streak in almost these three months. The first day decline was due to Deutsche Bank AG and BNP Paribas. And the second day the European stocks had come down due to Ryanair Holdings which has led the Dow-Jones Stoxx 600 index to its biggest drop in almost 3 months. And now the fourth day depreciating condition is due to rise the U.S 10-year bond above 5% making the central banks to think of raising the interest rates.


The Stoxx 600 last week was at its highest peak since September 2000 but the declined 1.2% to 385.52 yesterday. The Stoxx50 slithered to 0.9% while the Euro Stoxx 50 a measure for the 13 nation’s benchmark lost 1.3%. National Benchmarks fell in all of the 17 western European markets that were open, France’s CAC 40 dropped 1.5% and Germany’s DAX sunk 1.4%. The U.K’s FTSE 100 skid to 0.3%.

In my opinion though they are down, they are gonna fly back to their original position. Because the central bank is not yet quite sure of raising the interest rates.

European Stock Market is making a big move


European stocks have advanced so much ---so much to say that they have gone a bigger way against the U.S stock market ever since the first world war. And this bigger move has also indicated that the global dominance of the American capital markets will not the same as it was. Europe’s 24 stock-markets including Russia have now seen the capitalization rising to $15,720 bn. The U.S stock market’s value was $15,640bn.


Since the European stock market value has now increased making the U.S stock-market decrease to an extent.


So, as the European markets are in perfect status, in my opinion we

should go for European stocks so as to win lots of money.


What is your opinion? Please give your opinion.
