DAX 40, S&P 500 come off record highs, FTSE 100 off the 8,000 region
Outlook on FTSE 100, DAX 40 and S&P 500 ahead of Friday’s US non-farm payrolls.
FTSE 100 comes off the 8,000 region
The FTSE 100’s rally to its 8,017 14-month high has been followed by sharp sell-off as investors worry about inflation creeping back in with the 7,889 late March low being in view. A fall through and daily chart close below this level would push the accelerated uptrend line at 7,831 to the fore. Below it lie the more significant December-to-mid-March highs at 7,786 to 7,747 which may act as support.
DAX 40 comes off yet another record high
The DAX 40 reversed lower on Tuesday despite German inflation hitting a 3-year low and probed the February-to-March accelerated uptrend line at 18,274 which held. On Wednesday morning it was briefly slipped through before being revisited. Above it minor resistance can be seen around the 27 March low at 18,382. A fall through Wednesday’s 18,239 low would put the 18,044 mid-March high back on the cards.
S&P 500 comes off its record high
The S&P 500 reversed lower from this week’s record high, made at 5,274, amid strong US data which makes investors worry about the return of inflation and pares back rate cut expectations. The negative divergence on the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) forewarned traders that a reversal may occur with the S&P 500 so far slipping to 5,184. Short-term the breached October-to-April uptrend line, now a resistance line, at 5,225 may be revisited but a fall through 5,184 would put the early March highs at 5,165 to 5,150 on the map.
