MARKET INSIGHT

Initial key support is 4003.69, the 50-day EMA. The short-term uptrend in EUROSTOXX 50 futures is intact. Last week’s high print reinforces this theme. The contract has cleared the 76.4% retracement of the Jun 6 - Jul 5 downleg, at 3722.40. The focus is on 3840.00, the Jun 6 high. Initial firm support to watch is 3603.40, the 50-day EMA.
  • In FX, EURUSD short-term conditions are bullish as long as price continues to trade above support at 1.0097, the Jul 27 low. Potential is seen for an extension higher inside the bull channel drawn from the Feb 10 high - the top intersects at 1.0361 and this is a key short-term resistance.
