Friday,
- European markets closed in negative territory but recovered a bit from earlier losses as a stronger‐than‐expected U.S. jobs
data boosted investors. We would still recommend investors to maintain a cautious approach and reduce risk in ideas that
have broken below support levels. - The Stoxx 600 dropped 0.78% on higher volume and recorded a distribution day. Currently, the distribution day count
stands at six. The index remains in an Uptrend Under Pressure and is finding support at its 50‐DMA. Travel & Leisure (‐3.9%)
and Technology (‐1.82%) stocks led the decline, while Oil & Gas and Health Care ended in positive territory. - Among other major indices, France’s CAC found support at its 21‐DMA, while Germany’s DAX breached its 21‐DMA,
recording a distribution day each. The U.K.’s FTSE continued to find support at its 50‐DMA. - The distribution day count increased to 5.5, which remains a concern. Norway outperformed gaining more than 150bps,
while Portugal and Luxembourg ended in positive territory. France, Norway, Sweden, and Austria are the only markets in a
Confirmed Uptrend, while others are in an Uptrend Under Pressure. - Among our Focus List names, Halma (HLMA.GB;HLMA:LN), Lonza Group (LONN.CH;LONN:SW), and Novo Nordisk
(NON.DK;NOVOB:DC) are trading below their respective 200‐DMA. - Actionable names in the Focus List include Teleperformance (ROFR.FR;TEP:FP) as the stock is breaking out of its cup‐with‐
handle base.
