Many are awaiting today’s CPI release in the Eurozone.
EU shares fell back on Thursday, following the bearish global trend for equities as risk aversion prevails. investors have become increasingly risk-averse due to the uncertain short- to mid-term economic outlook and prospects of tighter monetary supply globally and are taking cash out of riskier assets.
Although hawkish stances from central banks are getting well priced-in to the markets now, investors who were initially expecting a quick pivot on rates are now struggling to assess the impact of higher rates for a longer period on corporate profits and the economy as a whole. That said, the macro front is likely to remain dominant, and many are awaiting today’s Consumer Price Index release in the Eurozone as well as the minutes of the last ECB policy meeting, which could bring even more volatility to both equity and FX markets.
The STOXX-50 is testing its major support zone around 4,200.0pts where a break-out could become significantly dangerous for prices as it would invalidate the mid-term bullish run started in last October.
However, with still bull traders defending this zone, no anticipated breakout is shown by the RSI indicator and volumes remaining unusually low for a breakout, and we don’t see this as the most likely scenario from a technical point of view.
