Money Flows before the start of European trading

Markets are preparing for a negative corporate season.

An avalanche of macroeconomic risks is expected to inflict damage on corporate performance, causing analysts to forecast a decline in revenue growth. Strategists, economists, and investment advisers are looking for additional signals for a rising dollar, the trade war between the Trump administration and China, as well as some sector-specific developments.

A good example and an early signal for all of this came from Apple, which prepared the scene with its warning for lower than the estimated new revenue figures. On Monday, China, the world's second largest economy, reported that imports of Chinese imports and exports fell in 2018 with the most in the past two years.

Even if they are exaggerated, they certainly affect the psyche of investors who are launching another session selling shares of all regions. In Europe, the screens glow red in the morning, and the lack of key economic recesses means that sentiment will again be driven by fears and uncertainties.

Theresa May has survived the vote of no confidence in parliament, but that does not mean that her place is secure, as is the case for the future of Britain outside the EU. The critical date for leaving the bloc is approaching the future of the economy of the old continent, and the trade relations within it are hanging in uncertainty.
