European benchmark equity indices on the defensive to start the week.
- Euro Stoxx 50 futures trade as low as 4,934.00. Bull cycle in the contract remains in play, initial support at the 20-day EMA (4,876.03) remains untested.
- A negative lead from China noted following the softer-than-expected official Chinese PMI data.
- Softer-than-expected Spanish PMIs and move higher in European yields also feed in.
- Some point to the AfD’s gains in regional elections in Germany as a source of pressure for the DAX, although our political risk team do not expect the news to force meaningful political upheaval.
