- European indices trade mostly lower
- Germany consumer sentiment edges higher
- Lufthansa (LHA.DE) stock gain on upbeat forecast
European indices are trading mostly lower on Thursday as traders are gearing up for the highly anticipated European Central Bank’s policy decision. Markets widely expect another 75 bp interest rate hike and more details regarding the path towards quantitative tightening and recession risks especially following Wednesday’s smaller 50 basis points hike at the Bank of Canada. On the data front,the German GfK consumer climate indicator edged higher to -41.9 heading into November of 2022 from a revised -42.8 in October, and in line with market expectations. It is the first increase in consumer morale after four consecutive months of record low reading, but still points to a negative mood. Yesterday DE30 managed to break above major resistance at 12950 pts, which coincides with 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the downward wave launched in June 2022 and the downward trendline. As long as the index sits above this level, upward mve may accelerate towards resistance at 13300 pts. On the other hand, if sellers manage to regain control, support at 12520 pts may be at risk.
