EQUITIES

Eurostoxx 50 futures maintain a firmer tone despite the latest pullback. Price has recently pierced resistance at 4268.00, the Mar 6 high and a key hurdle for bulls. A clear break of this level would strengthen bullish conditions and open 4300.00 next. Moving average studies are in a bull-mode set-up and this highlights a broader uptrend. Initial firm support lies at 4173.00, the 20-day EMA. S&P E-minis maintains a bullish tone and pullbacks are considered corrective. Price has recently breached resistance at 4119.50, reinforcing a bullish theme. The move higher has also resulted in a break of 4148.48, 76.4% of the Feb 2 - Mar 13 downleg. This signals scope for an extension towards 4205.50, the Feb 16 high ahead of 4244.00, the Feb 2 high and a key medium-term resistance. Firm support lies at 4039.75, the 50-day EMA.
