TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

Gains in the DAX petered out after rejecting the trendline from the June high, while resistance at 12643, which marks the 50% fib level from the 13184-12102 fall also held firm. Momentum indicators suggest that the bias is on the downside. Support at 12350 has curbed an extension to the recent losses for now, however, a firm break below could likely bring the July lows at 12100 back into focus.
