Friday,
- European markets closed lower led by weak GDP data from the Eurozone, indicating contraction in economic
growth, despite strong earnings reports by a few top companies. The steady rise in COVID-19 cases in Asia also
limited market gains. - The Stoxx 600 was down 0.31% on higher volume and breached its 10-DMA. The index added a distribution day,
taking the count to four. It remains in a Confirmed Uptrend. Mining shares (-1.8%) led the losses even as the
majority of sectors ended in the red. - Major indices like Germany’s DAX and France’s CAC closed in the red, with the latter adding a distribution day. The
U.K.’s FTSE 100 closed in the green on higher volume. All three indices remain in a Confirmed Uptrend. - All the 17 indices we track closed in the red, except the U.K., while Denmark was closed for a holiday. France, the
Stoxx 600, Ireland, Norway, Austria, Italy, Spain, and Belgium recorded a distribution day each. The average
distribution day count is at 3.81. - Actionable names in the Focus List include (DSY.FR; DSY:FP), Ambu B (AMB.DK; AMBUB:DC), Carl Zeiss Meditec
