EUROSTOXX 50 futures remain in a short-term downtrend. The 20-day EMA has been cleared and the 50-day EMA at 3650.80, has been pierced.

  • In FX, EURUSD started the week on a bearish note and the pair has cleared key support at 0.9952, the Jul 14 low. This confirms a resumption of the primary downtrend.
