TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

Next week we have the ECB meeting, which could be pivotal as the central bank is expected to discuss a timeline for the removal of its easy monetary stance. While this is expected, the degree of hawkishness expressed by the central bank could be telling for the DAX. Expect more volatility out of the euro, though, but in return depending on how outsized the move is in the single-currency, the DAX may react in opposite fashion despite the recently strong negative correlation turning positive on a month-over-month basis.

The DAX turned down last week from an area of resistance surrounding 12900, but then found support late-week near 12600, which has both price and trend-line support running through it. The market is becoming generally difficult to read at this juncture, and until we see more clarity, standing aside for the moment (outside of maybe day-trades) looks to be a prudent approach.
