Overall market situation:
This week's last session on European markets brings moderate declines in most indices. Germany's DAX is currently losing nearly 0.1%, France's CAC40 is down 0.18% (pressured by losing luxury company stocks after weaker PMI data from China), and Spain's Ibex 35 is down 0.26%. Investors' attention now turns to the US PCE data reading scheduled for 2:30 pm. In Europe, a mixed reading of HICP data from the Eurozone and lower retail sales in Germany proved to be a key macro readings.

Germany's benchmark DE40 is down nearly 0.1% during today's session. The index continues to hold the structure of the downtrend initiated on May 16 (however, it was violated yesterday). In the medium term, the continuation of the downward trend may create a place to test the historically important support level in the zone of the 50-day exponential moving average (blue curve on the chart). Locally, the most important resistance all the time remains the historical peak at the level of 19,000 points, as well as the zone of 18,600 points, which is close to the current quotations (the index has violated this zone several times, and it has been a point of both support and resistance in the past).
