Airbus likely exceeded 2021 delivery goals
European stock markets trade higher for the second day in a row. Gains can be spotted all across the Old Continent. Blue Chips indices from the United Kingdom, France and Austria are top performers while Polish WIG20 (W20) lags the most, gaining only 0.2%. A potentially big event of the day is OPEC+ meeting at 1:00 pm GMT. However, its impact on equity markets may be minimal if any.
DE30 continues upward move launched two weeks ago. Index builds onto yesterday's gains and tests 16,100 pts area today. DE30 trades around 1.2% below its all-time highs at 16,300 pts so a break to fresh records cannot be ruled out if upbeat moods continue. In case optimism fades and sellers gain control, the psychological 16,000 pts handle will serve as the first support. Source: xStation5
