Daily Report on October 20, 2017
Global share markets edged higher on Friday with the Stoxx Europe 600 index reversing from a loss in the previous session. Particularly, the stock benchmark index added 0.2 percent as supported by gains in financial and industrial shares. The Stoxx Europe 600 index dropped as much as 0.6 percent on Thursday and was on track to shed 0.5% for the week, which would be the first weekly declines in the last six week.
Germany’s DAX 30 index picked up 0.2 percent and France’s CAC 40 inched 0.16 percent higher while, the FTSE 100 gained 0.25 percent in London. In Asian trading session, Japan’s Topix index closed roughly higher at the highest since July 2007. The index advanced for a sixth consecutive week. The Nikkei 225 Stock Average also ended at the highest since October 1996. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 Index and South Korea’s Kospi index rose 0.2 percent and 0.7 percent, respectively.
U.S. stock futures also traded higher. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures jumped 0.39% to surpass the level 23,200. Meanwhile, S&P 500 futures gained 0.21% to 2,565.75. Nasdaq futures advanced 0.2% to 6,107. For the week, all three benchmarks were all set for weekly gains.
The U.S. dollar soared strongly to hit the highest level in roughly three months versus its Japanese counterpart and also strengthened against other major rivals on Friday amidst speculation over the tax reforms. The U.S. dollar index, which measures the strength of the buck against six other currencies, climbed 0.3% to 93.526. Dollar’s upbeat moves were fueled after Senate Republicans reportedly passed a budget blueprint for the next fiscal year, which helps clear a critical hurdle in the GOP push to overhaul the tax code.

Boosted By Sharp Jump in Mobile Payments, PayPal Shares Advance Amidst Rosy Outlook
Shares of PayPal Holdings Inc. took up by more than 4 percent in the extended session on Thursday after the mobile-payments company reported a better-than-expected third-quarter profit and upgraded its guidance for earnings through the rest of the year.
PayPal’s shares soared 4.03 percent to trade at $69.96 after the San Jose, California-based payments company said it earned $380 million of net income, or 31 cents a share in the third quarter, up from $323 million, or 27 cents a share, in the year-ago period.
For the three-month ended September, the PayPal reported adjusted earnings of $560 million, or 46 cents a share. The reading marked a rise of 32 percent compared to the same period last year and also beat analysts’ expectations calling for earnings of 39 cents a share on revenue of $3.565 billion.
Thanks to sharp growth in mobile payments whose volumes surged 54 percent during the last quarter compared with the year-ago period, to about $40 billion, PayPal witnessed its revenue jump 21.4 percent to $3.24 billion from $2.67 billion recorded in the same quarter last year.
PayPal also raised its guidance for the fiscal year 2017’s adjusted earnings to a range of $1.86 to $1.88 per share from $1.80 per share to $1.84 per share. Meanwhile, earnings are forecast to reach a range of 50 cents to 52 cents per share during the fourth quarter, which is in line with analysts’ estimate of earnings of 51 cents. Revenue is expected to come in between $12.92 billion and $12.98 billion.
