Economic calendar: Meta Platforms earnings and durable goods orders in focus

06:54 24 April 2024

Wednesday's session on equity markets promises to be positive. After yesterday's gains in Wall Street indices, the bullish trend was extended today by indices from Asian markets. Futures contracts also point to a higher opening of the session on the Old Continent. Such good sentiment is also a reaction to Tesla's (TSLA.US) results. Although the results were worse than expected, the stock price of Elon Musk's company rose 13.3%.

Investors' attention will turn today to data on durable goods orders from the US and Ifo data from Germany. In addition to Wall Street company results, investors will also react to data from Vinci, Carrefour, Orange, Air Liquide, Iberdrola, Roche, Volvo Car.
