Won Europe Today

Posted on by Deepashree MC

Yesterday,

  • European markets extended their losses for the fourth straight session on concerns over U.S. trade policies impacting global growth. Investor sentiment weakened after the U.S. doubled tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum imports to 50%, with the possibility of additional auto tariffs next month if Canada does not ease its own trade measures. Eurozone was not directly affected, but market volatility increased, weighing on equities.
  • Among significant movers on the Stoxx 600, shares of British Airways owner International Airlines Group (IAG.GB; IAG:LN) fell 6.1%. Shares of the Swiss skincare group Galderma (GALD.CH; GALD:SW) gapped down 6.6% after the company sold around 6.3% stake worth $1.3B.
  • The Stoxx 600 declined 1.7% and closed almost in line with its 50-DMA, marking its longest losing streak since December 2024. We expect the index to find near-term support at this level. We recommend a selective approach to adding names on a high-volume breakout or decisive retake of their key moving averages.
  • All sectors closed in the red. Travel and Leisure (-339bps), Health Care (-324bps), and Retail (-296bps) led the losses.
  • Among major indices, France’s CAC 40 failed to reclaim its near-term support levels and closed 1.3% lower. Next support is at its 50-DMA (-0.8%). Germany’s DAX 30 broke below its 21-DMA, marking its third session of losses. Support is at its February 12 low, followed by its 50-DMA.The U.K.’s FTSE 100 declined for a sixth session, closing 1.2% lower and breaking below its 50-DMA.
  • Italy and Belgium recorded their third distribution day, while Finland and Sweden logged in their sixth. Norway increased its distribution day count to seven.
  • The U.K. and the Netherlands were downgraded to a Downtrend from an Uptrend Under Pressure.
  • Belgium, Germany, and Switzerland were shifted to an Uptrend Under Pressure from a Confirmed Uptrend as the indices breached their key near- to mid-term support levels.
  • All the 16 indices we track closed in the red. Three indices are in a Confirmed Uptrend, 10 in an Uptrend Under Pressure, and three in a Downtrend. The average distribution day count stood at 4.6.
  • Of the 24 European Focus List names, 17 ideas are trading above their 200-DMA, while 10 ideas are trading above their 50-DMA.
  • Actionable names in the Focus List include Moncler (MONC.IT; MONC:IM), Safran (SGM.FR; SAF:FP), Relx (REL.GB; REL:LN), and Technogym (TGYM.IT; TGYM:IM).

On Friday,

  • European markets closed lower, capping a volatile week as investors reacted to shifting U.S. tariff policies. The U.S. granted temporary exemptions on nearly half of the Canadian and the Mexican imports, adding to market uncertainty. In addition, weaker-than-expected U.S. non-farm payroll data dampened sentiment. Meanwhile, with China still facing a 20% export duty from the U.S., the Eurozone’s luxury sector underperformed, with Burberry Group (BRBY.GB; BRBY:LN), Richemont (CFR.CH; CFR:SW), and Kering (KER.FR; KER:FP) declining 3–6%.
  • Among significant movers on the Stoxx 600, shares of the Belgium-based electric power company Elia Group (ELI.BE; ELI:BB) rose more than 17% after the company reported better-than-expected full-year results.
  • The Stoxx 600 snapped its 10-week positive streak, closing almost 0.5% lower, in line with its 21-DMA. Next support is at its February 12 high (547; -1%). We recommend a selective approach to adding names on a high-volume breakout or decisive retake of their key moving averages.
  • Among sectors, Telecommunications (+203bps), Utility (+160bps), and Food and Beverage (+131bps) were the top gainers, while Mining (-160bps) and Automobile (-139bps) lagged the most.
  • Among major indices, France’s CAC 40 breached its 10-DMA on lower volume. The index closed almost 1% lower, with near-term support at its 21-DMA. Germany’s DAX 30 closed 1.7% lower. The index was still trading above all its key support levels. The U.K.’s FTSE 100 closed flat, with support at its 200-DMA (-1.5%).
  • Denmark was downgraded to a Downtrend from an Uptrend Under Pressure as the index breached all its moving averages. Portugal was upgraded to a Confirmed Uptrend from a Rally Attempt after the index recorded a follow-through day.
  • Six of the 16 indices we track closed in the green. Seven indices are in a Confirmed Uptrend, eight in an Uptrend Under Pressure, and one in a Downtrend. The average distribution day count stood at 4.6.
  • Of the 25 European Focus List names, 23 ideas are trading above their 200-DMA, while 12 ideas are trading above their 50-DMA.
    • We removed Swedish Orphan Biovitrum (SOBI.SE; SOBI:SS) from our European Focus List after the stock breached its 200-DMA on high volume.
  • Actionable names in the Focus List include Games Workshop (GAW.GB; GAW:LN), Technogym (TGYM.IT; TGYM:IM), and 3i Group (III.GB; III:LN).

Yesterday,

  • European stocks rebounded after sharp losses in the previous session. German markets led the recovery as the government moved to ease borrowing limits to boost defense and economic growth. Optimism also grew over potential relief from U.S. tariffs on Canada and Mexico.Investors now turn their attention to the European central bank’s meeting scheduled today, where a widely expected 25bps rate cut could shape market sentiment.

  • The Stoxx 600 rose 0.9% and reclaimed its 10-DMA. Immediate resistance is at its recent high, while support is at its 21-DMA (-0.6%). We recommend a selective approach to adding names on a high-volume breakout or decisive retake of their key moving averages.
