Yesterday,

  • European markets closed higher, driven by gains in healthcare and energy stocks, even as investors weighed the impact of escalating U.S. trade tensions.

  • The Stoxx 600 gained 0.4% and reclaimed its 50-DMA. Next resistance is at its June high (+1.2%). We recommend a selective approach to adding names on a high-volume breakout or decisive retake of their key moving averages.
