A relief on the markets triggered by actions of US authorities over the weekend, aimed at containing risk from SVB collapse, turned out to be short-lived. US and European stock markets rallied yesterday but those moves are being reversed today. German DAX futures (DE30) are trading over 1% lower at press time while S&P 500 futures (US500) drop 0.6%. DE30 bears attempt to break below 15,000 pts mark at press time. A move lower on equity markets is accompanied by strengthening of USD which pressures EURUSD and GOLD.
While there is no clear reason behind the drop, it looks like markets remain nervous due to the situation in the banking sector. However, attention may be turning to the European banking sector. Shares of Credit Suisse are trading 10% lower today and hit a fresh record low. Credit Suisse top shareholder ruled out any further financial assistance to the European bank, which has been plagued by issues over recent years.

EURUSD plunged and tested a key near-term support zone in the 1.0675 area, marked with previous local low, 100-period moving average (H1 interval) as well as the lower limit of market geometry. A break below would, at least in theory, hint a bearish trend reversal. Source: xStation5
DE30 has once again failed to break above the 15,244-15,285 pts resistance zone and launched a pull back. The index is attempting to make a break below psychological 15,000 pts at press time. Source: xStation5
