TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

After a considerable surge last week, the German DAX seems to have its sights set on a continuation rally. Luckily for bulls, the 23.6% Fib level at 12,169 and an ascending trendline from December’s low will look to provide nearby support. The trendline previously marked the lower bound of the ascending channel the Index found itself in during the first-quarter rebound. Should the support hold, the channel may become pertinent once more.
