TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

The DAX 30 is nearing resistance once again after a brief jog lower last week even as crude oil plummets beneath $5 a barrel, suggesting investors are extremely pessimistic about economic activity in the weeks ahead. Since it seems traders are willing to discard concerning developments elsewhere, the DAX 30 may look to continue higher this week if risk trends remain consistent. As a result, chartists might take aim at the nearby Fibonacci level around 10,900.
