July 6, Fineko/abc.az. On Friday, when the US markets were closed due to the US Independence Day, the decline in volatility in the AI sector pushed the exchanges up. However, on the first day of the new week, futures indicate a decline - the recovery process in the technology sector and the semiconductor industry has lost momentum again.

Current situation and prices in the markets:

European and US stock markets: After European indices Stoxx 50 and Stoxx 600 closed last week at record highs, a decline is expected at the opening today. Nasdaq 100 futures, which gained 1.2% on the holiday, are now losing ground.

Asian market and chip manufacturers: The MSCI Asia Pacific index fell by 0.3%, while regional chip manufacturers fell by 0.7%. The South Korean Kospi index lost 1.4%, and shares of the giants Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix also fell in price.

Currency and oil: The US dollar strengthened against all G-10 currencies this morning. Brent crude oil fell by 0.6% to around $71.70 per barrel, which slightly reduced inflationary concerns.
