23rd July 2015
Stocks were trending higher in Europe on Thursday (July 23rd) after positive corporate earnings from some of the continent’s largest companies.
Credit Suisse led the way, with a bumper quarterly result sending its shares up seven per cent. Unilever also climbed three per cent after better-than-forecast earnings.
The FTSE 100 was up 0.2 per cent by midday, with gains capped by a seven per cent drop for Aberdeen Asset Management after it suffered further outflows of funds in the second quarter.
Shares in London had fallen sharply the day before, with chip-designer Arm Holdings down more than six per cent after Apple’s woes. Mining shares were also badly hit on Wednesday, BHP Billiton leading the trend downwards with a 5.7 per cent drop.
US index futures were up before the opening bell on Wall Street and hotly-anticipated results from Amazon, Starbucks, 3M and Caterpillar.
