On Friday,

  • European markets ended nearly flat, with a modest weekly advance, as traders awaited a long-delayed U.S.
    inflation print, which strengthened expectations of a Fed rate cut in the coming week.

    2026 targets fell short of expectations.

    Under Pressure, and six in a Rally Attempt.
  • Sweden was shifted to a Confirmed Uptrend from an Uptrend Under Pressure after the index reclaimed its previous
    rally high.

    stood at 4.3.
