The German benchmark DE40 is trading close to 0.27% higher during Tuesday's session, despite the DAX losing on the cash market. It seems that the key support points for the broad upward trend remain the recent peak zones (19,000 points) and the 50-day EMA (blue curve on the chart). The most important resistance remains the historical peak close to 19,650 points. Source: xStation
News:
As previously mentioned, investors' attention is once again turning towards China. It is the sentiment around this market that is putting pressure on European companies today. To recap, the Hang Seng index ended today's cash session down nearly 10%, as the market was disappointed by the lack of new stimulus programs from Chinese authorities. The press conference of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) did not provide the additional economic support that investors had hoped for. This was particularly surprising as China had previously announced the strongest stimulus measures since the pandemic, such as cheap loans for companies to buy back their own shares.
In response to this information, fashion companies, which generate a large portion of their profits in China, are particularly struggling today. Additionally, the local automotive sector is under significant downward pressure due to the trade war between the European Union and China.
Furthermore, South Korean tech giant Samsung Electronics (SMSN.UK) announced today that it expects lower-than-expected profits in the third quarter. In its quarterly forecast, the world's largest memory chip maker stated that operating profit for the quarter ending in September is expected to be around 9.10 trillion won, up from last year's 2.43 trillion won. Analysts surveyed by LSEG had expected an operating profit of 11.456 trillion won. Shares of the company's ADRs listed in London are currently down 1.5%.
