European stock markets are trading mixed at the beginning of a new week, following a mixed performance of equities from Asia-Pacific. German DAX tested 16,000 pts area at the beginning of today's cash session but failed to break above and erased all the gains later on. Russian RTS is the best performing European blue chips index while Austrian stocks lag the most.

DE30 attempted to make a break above the 16,000 pts price zone this morning but failed. Advance was halted at the 50-hour moving average (green line) and the index started to move lower. A steep drop that occurred after opening of today's cash session was later halted and a double bottom surfaced in the 15,870 pts. A sideways move in the 15,850-16,000 pts range cannot be ruled out until a catalyst for a bigger move surfaces. Powell's confirmation hearings tomorrow and US CPI reading on Wednesday could provide fuel for bigger moves. However, investors should focus on the limit of the aforementioned range for now.
