Euro Stoxx 50 futures are +15 on the day, while the cash equivalent has added ~0.25%.
- A marginal uptick in crude oil futures and a positive lead from China/HK will have helped.
- Light headwinds for the broader USD will have also factored in.
- More recently, dovish ECB speak will have been supportive at the margin,
- As is the case with most markets, holidays in the UK & U.S. are limiting conviction and volumes, as well as reducing liquidity.
- Looking a little deeper, utilities and energy names lead the rally from a sectoral standpoint, while the IT and communications sectors have lodged modest losses (based on Euro Stoxx 50 sectors).
- Technically, the bullish theme in Euro Stoxx 50 futures remains intact and the recent pullback appears to be a correction.
- The contract has recently cleared key resistance at the Apr 2 high (5,079.00), to confirm a resumption of the uptrend. This opens 5,127.70 next, a Fibonacci projection.
- Conversely, the downside level to watch is the 50-day EMA (4,955.70).
