The U.S. market remains in a Confirmed Uptrend. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq made new all-time highs for a second straight week,
closing above 10- and 21-DMA support while avoiding distribution. The overall trend remains constructive, though the S&P 500 is now
approaching its upper channel line, which has risen above 4,600. The distribution day count stands at one and two, respectively, with one
day expiring on the Nasdaq this week.

Yesterday,

  • European markets were on track to reach new highs on hopes of a fresh stimulus, which offset concerns about
    rising inflation. All markets, barring two, ended in positive territory. We recommend investors add names breaking
    out of proper bases and reduce exposure to stocks breaking below their 21- or 50-DMA on higher volume.
  • The Stoxx 600 bounced off its 10- and 21-DMA, but volume was lower. Oil & Gas and Auto stocks ended in the red,
    while Travel & Leisure stocks outperformed. The index is in a Confirmed Uptrend with four distribution days.
  • Among the other major indices, France’s CAC retook its 10- and 21-DMA on below average volume, while
    Germany’s DAX underperformed and failed to reclaim its 10- and 21-DMA. The U.K.’s FTSE gained on lower
    volume and remains in an Uptrend Under Pressure.
  • Market status remains unchanged for all markets.
  • Actionable names in the Focus List include Keywords ( KWS.GB; KWS:LN ), Halma ( HLMA.GB; HLMA:LN ),
    Euronext ( ENX.FR; ENX:FP ), JD Sports Fashion ( JD.GB; JD/:LN ), Ashtead Group ( AHT.GB; AHT:LN ), and Airbus ( AIRS.FR; AIR:FP ).

Yesterday,

  • European markets ended in negative territory on concerns about the Eurozone inflation data released yesterday.
    Markets rose for the seventh consecutive month with Technology stocks outperforming. Only three of the 17 indices
    closed in the green. Norway was again downgraded to an Uptrend Under Pressure after it was upgraded last week.
    The index breached its 50-DMA on good volume. Five markets are in an Uptrend Under Pressure while the
    remaining are in a Confirmed Uptrend. We maintain a positive view of the overall market, but the rise in inflation
    would exert some pressure.
  • The Stoxx 600 recorded a distribution day, declining on good volume and finding support at its 10- and 21-
    DMA. Technology was the most resilient, ending in the green, while Basic Resources led the losses. The index is in
    a Confirmed Uptrend with four distribution days.
  • Among other major indices, France’s CAC found support at its 50-DMA and avoided a distribution day. Germany’s
    DAX breached its 10-DMA and is trading slightly above its 21- and 50-DMA. The U.K.’s FTSE returned after a
    holiday and ended lower on higher volume. It recorded a distribution day, taking the count to three.
  • Portugal outperformed all the European markets, gaining more than 140bps.
