Yesterday,
- European markets had declined marginally and closed in the red in the last two sessions. Among sectors, Energy
underperformed as oil prices declined. Basic Resources and Autos also declined, while Technology and Financial
Services led the advance. Earnings update from Associate British Foods and UBS added positive sentiments for
their sectors. - We recommend a cautious approach to adding risk. Look for ideas in leading industry groups that are breaking out
of proper bases with a strong and rising RS line. - The Stoxx 600 closed 0.16% lower and was marginally above its 21-DMA. The index is still in the process of
making lower lows. It has not been able to retake its recent October highs and was facing resistance from its
declining moving averages. Constructive action will be when it retakes and holds above 460 and its 200-DMA. - Support levels: 21-DMA (0.3% below), 429 (3.1% lower), 424 (4.3% lower), and 422 (4.8% lower). Next levels of
resistance: 50-DMA (1.1% above), 100-DMA (2.3% above), and 200-DMA (3.1% above). - Among major indices, France’s CAC and Germany’s DAX were above their 21-DMA but still below their 50-, 100-,
and 200-DMA. The U.K.’s FTSE was below all its key moving averages. - Among the 16 indices we cover, most closed in the red. Portugal declined the most, down 2.54%, while Ireland led
the advance, up 0.2%. Eight indices are in a Confirmed Uptrend, three in an Uptrend Under Pressure, and five in a
Rally Attempt. - Actionable names in the Focus List include Banco Bpm (BP.IT; BAMI:IM), Beiersdorf (Xet) (BEIX.DE; BEI:GR),
Ferrari (Mil) (RACE.IT; RACE:IM), Relx (REL.GB; REL:LN), and Safran (SGM.FR; SAF:FP).
