Morgan Stanley, Charles Schwab, E*TRADE Financial, and CME Group Early Briefing and Review
LONDON, April 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Equity markets in the U.S. had an excellent run in the first quarter of 2013, with all three benchmark indexes rising sharply. While improving economic outlook in the U.S. lifted investors' sentiment in the first quarter, equity markets are also benefiting from ultra-loose monetary policy from central banks in the developed world. On Thursday, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) unveiled new aggressive monetary easing measures to fight deflation and boost economic growth. With central banks in the developed world flooding the market with cheap money, the demand for risk assets is expected to continue to rise. This augurs well for investment brokerages such as Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS), Charles Schwab Corp. (NYSE: SCHW), E*Trade Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: ETFC), and CME Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CME). On Thursday, investment brokerages ended on mixed note even as the broad market edged higher. StockCall has released free charting and technical research on these aforementioned companies.
