European indices are trading lower amid worries that rising number of new COVID-19 infections could force many governments to reimpose more lockdown restrictions which would have negative impact on region's economic recovery. Germany issued travel warnings to more parts of France, while Paris and London announced that bars and restaurants will close at 10pm. Spain considers widening a partial lockdown to more areas amid a rise in Covid-19 cases and as hospitals risk becoming overwhelmed. France unveiled fresh restrictive measures in several cities including Marseille. In Italy, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said the possibility of a new general lockdown is unlikely but there could be, if necessary, well-targeted closures.
On the data front, German Ifo Business Climate index rose by 0.9 points from the previous month to 93.4 in September, the highest level since February but below analysts’ expectations of 93.8. Meanwhile sentiment in the French manufacturing sector continued its steady recovery in September, rising to 96 in September compared with a revised figure of 92 in August. Swiss National Bank kept interest rates unchanged and reiterated its willingness to intervene more strongly in the currency markets to stop the rise of franc, as widely expected.
DE30 - yesterday index broke below the support at 12600 pts, and today one can see that this level acts as a resistance. As long as the price sits below it, the downward correction may resume. Next major support is located at 12160 pts. On the other hand, if we see a break back above it, stronger upward impulse toward 13300 pts may be on the cards. Source: xStation5
