On Thursday,
- European markets closed higher on strong economic data from the region and on the news of a new multitrillion dollar
infrastructure plan by the U.S. However, rising COVID‐19 cases and third lockdown in France limited market gains. European
markets were closed on Friday and Monday on account of Good Friday and Easter Monday. We remain constructive on the
markets and are open to adding names coming out of proper bases with good volume. - The Stoxx 600 closed higher gaining 0.61%. The index closed above its Feb 2020 highs and is moving higher along its rising
10‐DMA. The majority of sectors closed in the green, led by Technology. - Major indices like Germany’s DAX, France’s CAC, and the U.K.’s FTSE 100 closed in the green on lower volume. Germany’s
DAX gained the most, hitting a new all‐time high. - Of the 17 indices that we track, all of them closed in the green except Spain. Austria and Belgium were shifted to a
Confirmed Uptrend after both reclaimed prior highs. Twelve out of 17 indices are now in a Confirmed Uptrend. - Actionable names in the Focus List include Interpump Group (IP.IT; IP:IM), Sika (SIKA.CH; SIKA:SW), Schneider Electric
