Overall market situation:
Sentiment during the last trading session in Europe this week is mixed. The German DAX is currently losing 0.8%, while the British FTSE100 is adding 0.85%. Volatility remains high, which indicates that the pressure from the US-China trade war is still creating uncertain ground for future stock market behavior. For this reason, any new comments on this issue may increase the dynamics of changes in the prices of financial instruments in the near future.
