EURO STOXX 50 Hits 2-month LowDuring the first 3 days of this week, the price of EURO STOXX 50 (SX5E) has fallen by more than 3%.
This was facilitated by:
→ lower oil prices on the eve of the OPEC+ meeting scheduled for June 4. The Saudi oil minister urged market speculators to "be careful”;
→ uncertainty about the US debt ceiling. While a deal has been tentatively reached, it has yet to be officially approved by the Senate. There are only a few hours left;
→ reduced shares of European companies producing luxury goods due to falling demand;
→ disappointing data from China (we wrote about it yesterday), with which Europe is actively trading.
After conducting a technical analysis of the EURO STOXX 50 chart, we can assume that the decline may slow down, because:
→ SX5E price action shows that the 4,222 level, which served as an important resistance in March, now seems to be working as support;
→ support can also be provided by the lower line of the local downlink (shown in red).
→ the lower line of the long-term ascending channel (shown in blue) can give confidence to the bulls.

EURO STOXX 50 VS FTSE 100A clear correlation between Euro Stoxx 50 - Ftse 100 ratio, and the EUR/GBP exchange rate. I believe we will see European equities outperforming until January 2024, and the pound getting stronger, reaching 1.4 to 1.5 level versus the euro. From a macro perspective, the UK is in a harder corner as inflation is clearly more elevated, but this will also force UK rates to stay higher for longer, ( policy rate as well as bond rates ) thus more money will flow in, searching for higher yields.
Equities opened lower in Europe on Tuesday
EUROPEAN STOCKS
Equities opened lower in Europe on Tuesday, extending losses registered overnight in Asia, as fear and uncertainty grow in investors’ minds. Bearish sentiment is prevailing on stocks with Treasury yields taking off as risk appetite continues to plummet amid the lack of a US debt ceiling deal, despite another full day of discussions yesterday.
Fear is growing too as the deadline for an extension of the debt ceiling is fast approaching, and the prospect of a payment default from the US becomes more and more real, which is further denting market sentiment.
Elsewhere, investors will be keeping an eye on US data today with Building Permits, PMI Services and New Home Sales all expected to show declines compared to last month.
All EU benchmarks are currently in red territory today, with all sectors down with the worst performances coming from Consumer Cyclicals, Utilities and Healthcare.
The STOXX-50 Index is now trading below its first support under 4,375pts, with 4,352pts now in sight.

European shares continued to climb, alongside US futuresEUROPEAN SHARES
European shares continued to climb, alongside US futures, as risk appetite grew at the start of the final trading session of the week. Investors continue to respond positively to the optimistic discussions surrounding the debt-ceiling issue in Washington, which have bolstered market sentiment towards equities, despite lingering uncertainties brought by recent macro data.
Indeed, sticky inflation, slowing recovery momentum in China, monetary tightening, and weaknesses in US employment data and the banking sector can still be seen as lingering dark clouds for investors who could be tempted to seek hedging solutions once the debt ceiling issue is temporarily solved.
Meanwhile, all sectors are on the rise in Europe, with the best performances being brought by basic materials and energy shares. The STOXX-50 is trading around its first major resistance at 4,385.0pts following a bullish clearing of its bearish short-term trendline.
The next target is the all-time high at 4,420.0pts, while a failure below 4,385.0pts could drive the market in a pull-back move around 4,375.0pts, 4,352.0pts, and 4,330.0pts by extension.

European equities climbed on ThursdayEUROPEAN SHARES
European equities climbed on Thursday, paring some of yesterday’s losses, as market sentiment strengthens following the Federal Reserve’s rates decision and prior to the ECB announcement.
Jerome Powell provided investors with what they were waiting for, lifting borrowing rates by 25 basis point higher to the 5.00%-5.25% target range, the highest since 2007.
While the decision on rates didn’t surprise, investors were interested to see a shift in the wording from the Fed chairman after he hinted this could be the final hawkish move of the current tightening cycle.
This tone change is being welcomed by equity and commodity traders as it lifts some of the pressure brought by a higher US dollar and reduces the prospect of a more aggressive FOMC.
That said, investors still have a lot to digest with today’s decision on rates and press conference from the ECB, as well as tomorrow‘s US jobs report for April, which will certainly contribute to increased market volatility.
Pierre Veyret– Technical analyst, ActivTrades
European stocks at a significant resistanceEuropean stocks broke out of their channel months ago, but they are now facing an all-time resistance at the top, which positions them perfectly for a potential drop. If the SPX breaks out, it could mean that Europe will start retracing down while the SPX surges. However, it could also mean that both the SPX and EUR50 will begin their real bear market moves.

A very reliable 12 week cycle says top formedThe S&P 500 seems to be following an 11-12 week cycle since the start of this bear market. IF this holds again, it means the top was already formed last week and the market starts to head lower from here. I have also got confirmation for this by looking at Euro Stoxx ~ 8 week cycle which is giving the same signal.
