DE30: Részvények emelkedőben a foglalkoztatási adatok előtt (Angol hír)

• European assets surge after ECB move and ahead jobs data

• DE30 tested 12,700 pts

• Lufthansa (LHA.DE) will be removed from DAX index

European markets are pushing higher being supported by ECB's move yesterday. The European Central Bank decided to increase the size of its PEPP programme by €600 billion and to extend it to June 2021. German DAX tested the 12,700 pts mark earlier in the day, the highest level since February 26. Risk event to keep in mind while trading today is the US labour market data release at 1:30 pm BST.

German factory orders data for April was released at 7:00 am BST today. Report was expected to show a drop of 19.9% MoM but instead the actual reading came in at -25.8% MoM! This comes after previous month's reading of -15% MoM (revised from -15.6% MoM). This is a terrible print but April is expected to be the worst month of the current downturn so things should start to improve going forward.

DAX as well as other European and US stock indices continue to march higher at neck-breaking pace. A look at the DE30 chart on a weekly time frame pictures how quick a recent upward move was. The index smashed through another important retracement today - 78.6% - and is trading just 8-9% below all-time highs. Next potential resistance to watch is the zone ranging between 12,900 and 13,000 pts. However, while this zone has been marked with numerous price reactions over the past 3 years, the index may ignore it due to persistent fear-of-missing-out on the current rally. Today's NFP report will be an interesting one as the US Bureau of Labor Statistics admitted there was some misreporting in the April report and revisions may be made with the US unemployment rate potentially jumping above 25%! Should a report disappoint and market pullback, the aforementioned 78.6% retracement (12,600 pts) may be on watch.
