DE30: European stocks on track for weekly gain

10:51 AM 27 May 2022
  • European stock markets trade higher
  • DE30 broke above 14,000 pts area
  • Volkswagen (VOW3.DE) to pay out $242million  in 'dieselgate' settlement

European stock market indices are trading mostly higher on Friday, with DAX adding 0.55% amid cautious optimism over reopening of the Chinese economy and easing concerns of aggressive rate-hikes from the Fed and ECB. Worse mood prevails in the UK, as investors continue to digest the new fiscal stimulus package proposed by finance minister Sunak and the impact it could have on the BoE's tightening plans. On the week, major bourses in Europe are on track to book nearly 2% gains.

DE30 yesterday managed to break above major resistance at 14000 pts which coincides with upper limit of the wedge formation and upbeat mood prevails today, therefore attack on next resistance around 14465 pts cannot be ruled out. On the other hand, if market sentiment deteriorates, then another downward impulse towards major support at 13325 pts may be launched. Source: xStation5
