Won Europe Today

Yesterday,

  • European markets reversed earlier losses to close with modest gains on higher volume. Denmark, Ireland, and Norway were the only markets that declined. Markets jumped on account of European Central Bank’s decision to open repo facility for non‐European Union banks, providing more liquidity. Denmark, Switzerland, and the Netherlands are now the only markets to remain in a Confirmed Uptrend.
  • The Stoxx 600 gained 0.72% on higher volume, with Financial and Auto stocks gaining 2.25% and 1.95%, respectively. The distribution day count remains unchanged at three. Among other major indices, France’s CAC and Germany’s DAX gained 0.97% and 0.69%, respectively, while the U.K.’s FTSE was up 0.38%.

Won Europe Today

Yesterday,

  • The Stoxx 600, along with France, Sweden, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands, were moved to an Uptrend Under Pressure after breaching their respective 21-DMA. Although distribution days remain low (average 1.4), we are concerned by the recent lack of participation of quality growth names in the market rally that started on March 19 (follow-through day).
  • The Stoxx 600 tumbled 2.65% on low volume. All the major sectors closed in the red, with Oil & Gas leading the losses with a drop of 5%. Among other major bourses, France’s CAC lost 4.24%, and DAX fell 3.64% on low volume. The U.K.’s FTSE did relatively better with a 0.16% decline in high volume. All the other indices closed in the red, with three indices recording a distribution day each.
