DE40: Downward pressure prevails among European trading floors

2:45 pm 29 May 2024

  • DAX falls by nearly 0.8%
  • At 1 p.m. BST reading of preliminary CPI data for May
  • Siemens Energy AG (ENR.DE) considers cutting 4,100 vacancies

Overall market situation:

Wednesday's session on the European stock indices brings relatively significant declines. The German DAX is already down by almost 0.9% (in spot trading). The situation is much worse on the French CAC40, which loses 1.15%. The dynamic rebound in US yields, fuelled by the hawkish stance of Fed bankers, is spoiling sentiment in Europe. For the moment, investors' attention turns to the CPI reading from Germany, which will be published at 01:00 pm BST. 

The previously reported data from the individual Länder unfortunately did not make it possible to determine what the outcome of the aggregate reading might be.

The German benchmark DE40 is down nearly 0.65% during today's session. The index continues to hold within the structure of the downtrend initiated on 16 May (it was breached yesterday, however). In the medium term, the continuation of the downtrend may create room to test the historically important support level in the zone of the 50-day exponential moving average (blue curve on the chart). Whether the DE40 breaks out below the 18,600-point zone currently being tested could prove crucial in this aspect. Locally, the most important resistance all along remains the historical peak at 19,000 points. Source: xStation 5
