Markets edge higher on light volumes - Admiral leads Footsie higher
- Wall Street closed for MLK Day
- BoJ expected to announce stimulus; Eurogroup meet in Brussels
Stock markets across Europe were making small gains on Monday morning with volumes said to be light in the absence of trading on Wall Street later on.
"European equities opened better this morning as the recent rally continued in light volume trade. With US markets closed for Martin Luther King Day, we're unlikely to see any significant shifts in risk attitude until later in the week," said sales trader Matt Basi from CMC Markets.
As for today, markets are likely to focus on a two-day Bank of Japan meeting with expectations high for a bond-buying announcements. According to a Bloomberg survey, most analysts expect a 10tn-yen increase in asset purchases.
Meanwhile, Eurozone finance ministers (the Eurogroup) are to meet in Brussels later today. Members are expected to elect the new head of the group, as Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker steps down from the post after having served for eight years. Holland's Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem is expected to take the helm.
Finance ministers will be examining Cyprus as the results of the review for the country's bank restructuring are expected to be available today. However, doubts over Mediterranean country's debt sustainability remain and final decisions on aid will probably be delayed until after the country's presidential elections in February.
