TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

The week before last the DAX broke fairly significant support just around the 12100-level, but found a low just a few days later. This has the level once viewed as support now a level of resistance. It’s come into play each of the past four sessions, with no success so far in recapturing it (but trying now).

Should we see the market sustain above resistance on a daily closing basis, then momentum on the break could carry it higher. It will still be an uphill battle, though, as the trend during recent months stays negative.
