| April 16, 2010 | | Spread bets and CFDs on U.S. stocks | The U.S. market is struggling today, slightly lower. Stocks pulled back at open, however spread betting and contracts for differences should consider that stocks have also moved into the black briefly. They are see-sawing between slight gains and losses this morning.
Investors are torn between declining consumer sentiment and an improved housing situation. Also, investors are still concerned about Greece. Commodities are mostly lower today, and that is pressuring the stock market.
Markets in Asia closed lower today, and European markets, along with the FTSE 100, are also lower. With this sort of precedent, it is likely that the U.S. market will continue to struggle throughout the session.
