12:11 pm 17 September 2024

  • Mynaric AG reported progress in the mass production of its CONDOR Mk3 laser communication system

General market situation:

Tuesday's session on European stock markets brings better investor sentiment. Germany's DAX is currently gaining 0.47%. Britain's FTSE 100 adds 0.72%. At the same time, France's CAC40 adds 0.51%. The DAX as a whole remains above a key support point, set by the 50-day EMA. Investors' attention turns today to data from the US, namely the retail sales and industrial production report for August. German ZEW economic sentiments came in 3.5 vs 17 exp. and 19.4 previously. ZEW economists stated, that hope for a swift improvement in the economic situation in Germany is visibly fading.

The German benchmark DE40 is trading nearly 0.17% lower during Tuesday's session. The futures-based index nevertheless continues to hold above the important support level set by the 50-day EMA (blue curve on the chart). A dynamic breakthrough of these zones could theoretically open the way for further declines towards the 100-day EMA and the 200-day EMA (purple and gold curves on the chart, respectively). The key resistance point, on the other hand, remains the local peak in the 19,000-point zone. Source: xStation
