The new week was began by contracts on the WIG20 with a slight increase of 4 points above Friday's closing. Today's morning did not bring any major changes in the main European markets and futures on the DAX and CAC40 oscillate at neutral levels

The cash market started the day with an increase of 0.34% to 1,757 points with Monday's, modest turnover. With the first transaction market recovered Friday's decline and returned to the starting point, means the area of 1,760 points. Surrounded the German DAX initially rose much less, but pretty soon improved its image, which supports the preservation of the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

After fifteen minutes of trading the WIG20 index reached the level of 1,767 points (+0,90%).

We start a week at beginning of which there are new events that may affect the behavior of the markets. We are talking about the next debate Trump - Clinton and the subsequent controversies surrounding Donald Trump (published on Friday night video recording from 2005), which over the weekend led to comments suggesting his withdrawal from the race for the presidential nomination. Strengthen of the Mexican peso and the increase in the valuation of contracts in the US indicate decreasing the chances of this candidate in the upcoming elections.

In Asia, we observe a clear weakening of the yuan by approx. 0.5%, which is a negative premise for the markets. There is no on the market the resting Japanese, but on the other hand, the market returned Chinese and the Shanghai index rose more than 1%.

The Warsaw market in recent days become resistant to the mood from the environment and focuses on behavior of individual companies and local information impact on them.
