PARIS (Reuters) – Wall Street is expected to rise on Monday and European stocks are also in the green mid-session, the lull having returned to the markets after last week’s turbulence around banks, in particular Deutsche Bank. Futures on New York indices signal an opening on Wall Street up 0.67% for the Dow Jones, 0.71% for the Standard & Poor’s 500 and 0.43% for the Nasdaq. In Paris, the CAC 40 advanced by 1.04% to 7,088.06 points around 12:00 GMT. In Frankfurt, the Dax took 1.23% and in London, the FTSE rose 0.93%.

The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index gained 1.21%, the Eurozone EuroStoxx 50 0.92% and the Stoxx 600 1.15%.

The banking sector, shaken on Friday by attacks on the title Deutsche Bank whose “credit default swap” (CDS), the cost of insurance against a risk of default, reached a high since the end of 2018, seems to have recovered a little calm on Monday.

This renewed optimism is driven by statements deemed reassuring by the authorities in Europe and the United States on the financial sector, bargain purchases of banking stocks and the announcement of the buyback of all of the deposits and loans of Silicon Valley Bank by First Citizens BancShares.

“Many investors still don’t want to touch the banking sector for fear of further stress,” notes Russ Mould, chief investment officer at AJ Bell.

“However, in a bleak situation, there is always someone who sees an opportunity to make money, which is why we are seeing a rise in the share price of many banks today. Europeans,” he added.

The market is nevertheless still volatile, the VIX index in the United States being at 21.44 points and its European equivalent at 23.38 points while Philip Jefferson, one of the governors of the American Federal Reserve, must speak during the day. Michael Barr, vice-president of the Fed, must for his part be heard by the American Senate on banking supervision on Tuesday. WALL STREET VALUES TO FOLLOW
