Won Europe Today

We released our European Weekly Summary yesterday, click here to access the report. Key points from it include:

  • Last week, the IShares DJStoxx 600 (EXSA.DE; SXXPIEX:GR) retook its 50-DMA and is currently consolidating in a
    nine-week flat base with support at ~€45. It remains in an Uptrend Under Pressure with five distribution days.
    Should the index break above its €47 resistance level, which corresponds to the pivot line of the current base, its
    status would return to a Confirmed Uptrend.
  • Of the 17 indices we cover, three are in a Confirmed Uptrend, one in a Rally Attempt, and 13 in an Uptrend Under
    Pressure.
  • All sectors closed in the green last week, barring Transportation. Our rotation chart continues to show improving
    short-term momentum among Energy and Financial stocks.
  • We added Coface (COFA.FR; COFA:FP), Aker BP (AKEP.NO; AKRBP:NO), and DNB Bank (DNB.NO; DNB:NO)
    and removed Evolution (EVOG.SE; EVO:SS) from our Focus List.
