EQUITIES: Stocks Remain Within Range of Recent Highs

EQUITIES

A bull cycle in S&P E-Minis remains intact and the latest shallow pullback is considered corrective. Recent gains reinforce a bullish theme and note that moving average studies are in a bull-mode setup, highlighting a dominant uptrend. Eurostoxx 50 futures traded sharply higher last week resulting in a clear break of  5024.00, the Sep 3 high. This confirms a resumption of the bull leg that started Aug 5 and cancels a recent bearish theme.

  • Japan's NIKKEI closed higher by 743.3 pts or +1.97% at 38552.06 and the TOPIX ended 31.75 pts higher or +1.2% at 2683.71.
  • Across Europe, Germany's DAX trades lower by 174.83 pts or -0.91% at 18990.93, FTSE 100 lower by 1.21 pts or -0.01% at 8290.73, CAC 40 down 81.79 pts or -1.08% at 7496.82 and Euro Stoxx 50 down 48.31 pts or -0.97% at 4915.78.
  • Dow Jones mini down 177 pts or -0.42% at 42333, S&P 500 mini down 22 pts or -0.38% at 5738, NASDAQ mini down 99.75 pts or -0.5% at 19909.75.
