Markets in Europe in slightly worse mood
-
Technology companies under pressure with sell-offs on Tesla, Netflix and TSMC shares

K+S (SDF.DE) raised by SocGen
Thursday's market session brings slightly worse investor sentiment. This is directly related to the reaction to Tesla's and Netlfix's quarterly results, which somewhat disappointed investors. Netflix is currently losing close to 6.5% before the open. Although today the PBoC decided to maintain 1-year rates, such a lowering of the cross-border expense ratio, may allow more capital inflows into China. Moreover, the benchmark rate of the USD/CNY pair was set by the Bank clearly below previous forecasts, thus strengthening the yuan. There were also reports in the media of a possible stimulation of the economy by easing access to mortgages in China.
In the face of this news, companies in the industrial sector performed relatively well today. The market-wide sell-off in the semiconductor sector is due to TSMC's (TSM.US) reduced earnings forecasts.
