(AOF) – European equity markets should rebound early in the session. The expected increase cannot, however, compensate for the fall recorded last Friday. Oil, which sank 9% at the end of the week, gained 4.6% this morning. On the bond market, the yield of the 10-year US dollar, which fell sharply on Friday due to renewed risk aversion, is also upbeat (+4.8 basis points to 1.527%). Investors are taking note of the rapid reaction of governments to the threat of the new Omicron variant. They are now awaiting information concerning its dangerousness.
The values to follow today
Biosynex
Biosynex holds 18.82% of the capital and 18.89% of the voting rights of Theradiag. The test maker has acquired shares of the company specializing in in vitro diagnostics in the market. He also participated in the capital increase with maintenance of preferential subscription rights for Theradiag shareholders, which closed on November 24, 2021.
Dékuple
In the third quarter of 2021, the Dékuple group achieved sales of 41.6 million euros, up 21.5% over one year. At the end of the first nine months of the year, consolidated sales amounted to 117.1 million euros (+ 18.2%). Gross Business Volume stood at 229.7 million (+ 11%), and the gross margin stood at 97.2 million euros (+ 13.6%). In France (90% of turnover), the media and digital marketing group saw its activity improve by 16.5%, while Spain grew by 36.2%.
Laurent-Perrier
After Rémy Cointreau on Thursday, it was Laurent Perrier who favorably surprised investors on Friday. The Champagne House gained 0.73% to 83 euros in a market environment that did not lend itself to the festivities. The independent group has unveiled its 2021-2022 half-year results, which show strong growth thanks to the gradual lifting of health measures and the gradual reopening of places of consumption around the world.
Eurofins
Eurofins has announced the launch of a new screening tool for the B.1.1.529 variant. The GSD NovaType Select is a set of RT-PCR tests that specifically detect mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 genome in about 1 hour, much faster than genome sequencing methods. It can thus differentiate the B.1.1.529 variant from the currently dominant Delta variant and can be used as a large-scale screening test.
Macroeconomic figures
The first estimate of November inflation in Germany will be released at 2 p.m.
Around 8:30 a.m., the euro gave up 0.44% to $ 1.1270.
Friday in Paris
European equity markets fell like all world markets. The assets at risk are carried away by the fear generated by the appearance in South Africa of a new variant potentially very contagious and resistant to current vaccines. In the turmoil, values related to health logically draw their pin from the game. On the other hand, investors have deserted values related to tourism, transport but also trade. The CAC 40 plunged 4.75% to 6,739.73 points while the Euro Stoxx 50 dropped 4.65% to 4,093.72 points.
Friday on Wall Street
Wall Street closed Friday in sharp decline in the wake of other world places after the discovery of a new highly contagious variant. Several countries have already started to close their borders to travelers from areas deemed to be the most risky. Sign of the ambient nervousness caused by this variant, the Vix index, called “of fear”, jumped 40% to reach its highest level since September. Markets closed 7:00 p.m. KST due to Thanksgiving. The Dow Jones lost 2.53% to 34,899.34 points. The Nasdaq dropped 2.23% to 15,491.66 points.
