Yesterday,

  • European markets had a positive session, gaining 24bps, as investors continue to digest the latest earnings
    session and guidance provided for FY24 in light of the central bank’s decisions and dovish approach. Value has
    started leading growth. Short-term momentum has started to fade in Technology and Consumer Staple, while
    gaining strength in Mining and Financials. Hence, we recommend that investors book profits in extended names
    that have started breaking below their near-term support levels and are displaying a change of character.
  • Sectoral gains were mostly broad based. Retail (+169bps) led the gains by a wide margin, as it closed on a strong
    monthly performance (+12.3%). It was followed by Health Care (+28bps) and Food and Beverages (+28bps).

  • Most of the indices are exhibiting constructive technical action and are in a Confirmed Uptrend. All the three major
    indices had a positive session. Germany’s DAX 30, France’s CAC 40, and the U.K.’s FTSE 100 gained 76bps,

  • Among the 16 indices we track, Denmark and Norway closed in the red, while Belgium closed flat with a negative
    bias. Denmark also recorded a distribution day, taking its total distribution day count to 7. We will shift the index to
    an Uptrend Under Pressure if the distribution day count increases.
