MARKET INSIGHT
  • In the equity space, the trend condition in the S&P E-Minis is unchanged and remains bearish - a corrective cycle is still in play. The 20-day EMA has been cleared and this opens the 4082.78, the 50-day EMA - a key pivot support. EUROSTOXX 50 futures remain in a short-term downtrend and the contract is trading closer to its recent lows. The 20-day EMA has been cleared and the 50-day EMA at 3650.60, has been pierced. A clear break of the 50-day average would strengthen the bearish theme and open 3582.50, 50.0% of the Jul 5 - Aug 17 rally.
  • In FX, EURUSD has cleared key support at 0.9952, the Jul 14 low. This confirms a resumption of the primary downtrend and signals scope for an extension lower.
