DE40: European markets extend decline

The last session of the week brings a deepening of declines on the European market. Recent comments from the FOMC in the USA have dashed market hopes for rate cuts in December, which is reverberating across global markets. The leaders of declines in Europe are Poland and Germany. DAX40 contracts are losing over 1%. Slightly less, but also down by about 0.7%, are the prices of SPA35, ITA40, and UK100 contracts. The French stock market is doing better, with CAC40 down by about 0.4%. Switzerland is on a slight positive at the halfway point of the session.

The market is under broad pressure. On the DAX index, the biggest declines are seen in technology and pharmaceutical companies. They are followed by retailers, services, and distributors. Industrial companies are currently on a slight positive.

Macroeconomic Data:

• The inflation reading from Spain still indicates a significant rise in prices. Prices increased monthly by 0.7%, and annual inflation rose to 3.1%.
• Economic growth from the European Union turned out to be slightly above expectations on an annual basis. Quarterly, the EU economy grew by 0.2%. The trade balance is also in an upward trend. After the session ends, ECB representative Philip Lane will speak on monetary policy.
• Outside Europe, the economic situation appears much weaker. China, one of Europe's key trading partners, is experiencing weak industrial production growth, with its dynamics remaining in a downward trend.

The price extends yesterday's declines and stops in the resistance zone around the FIBO 61.8 level of the last upward wave. The most important task for buyers will be to prevent the rate from exceeding 23,800 points to avoid deepening the correction. In case of failure, further declines may reach 23,500-23,300 where the next support zones are located. The base scenario is transitioning into consolidation and waiting for a price impulse in the 24,400-23,800 zone.
