Won Europe Today

Yesterday,

  • European markets closed in the red due to rising COVID-19 cases in many countries as investors are closely
    looking at quarterly results in the region. We remain constructive on markets as long as they hold their 21-DMA
    support, but advise caution if that level is broken as there will be a risk of downgrading market status.
  • The Stoxx 600 lost 1.90% on higher volume and breached its 10-DMA, with next support at its 21-DMA. Travel and
    Bank stocks were the major losers even as all sectors closed in the red.
  • Major indices such as Germany’s DAX, France’s CAC, and the U.K.’s FTSE 100 closed in the red on higher volume
    and recorded a distribution day. All three indices remain in a Confirmed Uptrend.
  • All the 17 indices we track closed in the red on higher volume, with Spain, Italy, and Sweden losing the most. All the
    indices recorded a distribution day, except Ireland, taking the average distribution day count to 4.18.
  • Actionable names in the Focus List include Ambu B (AMB.DK; AMBUB:DC), Carl Zeiss Meditec (AFXX.DE;
    AFX:GR), Interpump Group (IP.IT; IP:IM), Schneider Electric (QT@F.FR; SU:FP), Boozt (BOZT.SE; BBOZT:SS),
    Straumann Holding (STMN.CH; STMN:SW), Eurofins Scientific (EUF.FR; ERF:FP), Nibe Industrier (NIBE.SE;
    NIBEB:SS), Gn Store Nord (GSN.DK; GN:DC), Pandora (PND.DK; PNDORA:DC), and Dassault Systèmes
    (DSY.FR; DSY:EN).

21-DMA (4,071). The Nasdaq is sitting just above its 21-DMA, which is ~2% above its rising 50-DMA (13,509). The distribution day count

The U.S. market remains in a Confirmed Uptrend. The S&P 500 continues to make new all-time highs, now gaining 1% or more for four
straight weeks. The index is trading above its upper channel line and ~6% above its 50-DMA, the biggest extension since August 2020.
Though extended, there are no signs of technical weakness as the index remains above all major moving averages with low distribution.
The Nasdaq is testing all-time high resistance between current prices and 14,175. Look for the 10- and 21-DMA to act as near-term
support should indices pull back. The distribution day count stands at three and four, respectively, with no expiration this week.

We released our weekly Global Laggards Report yesterday (please click here to access the report). The stocks
highlighted in this report are laggards relative to their own domestic markets. We recommend that they be underweighted
as they may be vulnerable to further downside risk and underperformance. European names highlighted this week include
{Huhtamaki (HUIF.FI; HUH1V:FH), Valeo (FR.FR; FR:FP); and Ams (AMS.CH; AMS:SW)}.

Won Global View

The U.S. market remains in a Confirmed Uptrend. The S&P 500 made another new all-time high yesterday, narrowly overshooting its
upper channel line, while the Nasdaq is now trading less than 1% off all-time high (14,175) resistance. Should indices consolidate or pull
back in the coming days, look for the rising 10- or 21-DMA to act as support and for distribution to remain under control to stay
constructive. The distribution day count stands at three and four, respectively, with no expiration next week.
