World shares mostly gain after Wall Street hits three-month highs

World shares were mixed Thursday after Wall Street benchmarks closed at three-month highs as investors cheered a report showing inflation cooled more than expected in July. U.S. futures edged higher and oil prices also advanced. The U.S. government said Wednesday that consumer inflation jumped 8.5% in July from a year earlier. But that was down from June's four-decade high of 9.1%. Germany's DAX edged 0.2% lower, to 13,674.98, while in Paris the CAC 40 added 0.1% to 6,531.38. Britain's FTSE 100 slipped 0.1% to 7,498.34. The futures for the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average were 0.2% higher. On Wednesday, the S&P 500 surged 2.1% on expectations that slower inflation will mean the Federal Reserve may moderate its interest rates hikes.

Global stocks rise after US job data gain paves way for rate hike

Global stocks gained Monday after strong U.S. jobs data cleared the way for more interest rate hikes and Chinese exports rose by double digits. London, Shanghai, Tokyo and Frankfurt advanced. Hong Kong retreated. Oil prices edged higher. Wall Street's benchmark S&P 500 lost 0.2% on Friday after government data showed American employers added more jobs than expected in June. That undercut expectations a slowing economy might prompt the Fed to postpone or scale back plans for more rate hikes to cool inflation. Now it seems they will be debating whether they need to be even more aggressive, Edward Moya of Oanda said in a report. In early trading, the FTSE 100 in London was up 0.4% at 7,471.08 and the DAX in Frankfurt added 0.4% to 13,629.44. The CAC 40 in Paris advanced 0.6% to 6,512.74.

World stock markets mixed ahead of US jobs data; Fed weighs rate hike

Global stock markets and Wall Street futures were mixed Friday ahead of an update on the U.S. jobs market while the Federal Reserve weighs whether more rate hikes are needed to cool surging inflation. London, Paris and Frankfurt were lower while Shanghai and Tokyo advanced. Oil prices fell back. Investors were looking ahead to monthly U.S. employment numbers for possible signs of weakness that might prompt the Fed to decide it needs to ease off on rate hikes to cool inflation. Other data suggest the economy is slowing, which should reduce pressure for prices to rise. Consensus is looking for a softening in the labor market for July, said Stephen Innes of SPI Asset Management in a report. In early trading, the FTSE 100 in London lost 0.1% to 7,437.48 and the DAX in Frankfurt was little-changed at 13,660.80. The CAC 40 in Paris lost 0.5% to 6,483.56.
