EQUITIES
Eurostoxx 50 futures trade firmly Friday morning, having tripped the bull trigger ahead of the Thursday close. Short-term momentum is tilted higher, with 5065.38 resistance (the 0.618 proj of the Aug 5 - Sep 3 - Sep 6 price swing) cleared to open 5100 and 5114 above. On an intraday basis, 5090.47 could cap rallies, but the picture remains firm the longer prices hold above the mid-week lows.

This confirms a resumption of the long-term uptrend. First key support is 5635.41, the 50-day EMA. Initial support lies at 5700.77, the 20-day EMA.
