Siemens Healthineers to release new mid-term targets in November
Stocks in Europe are trading mixed on Thursday. Indices from Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and Italy gain while stocks in France, the United Kingdom, Portugal and Poland pull back. However, the range of moves is small and in most cases does not exceed 0.3%. While the economic calendar is almost empty today, US CPI reading at 1:30 pm BST may trigger some short-term volatility on equity markets with higher than expected readings being potentially negative for stocks and positive for the US dollar.

The index climbed above the price zone marked with 38.2% retracement of the upward impulse launched in mid-July and tested resistance at 23.6% retracement (15,800 pts area). Index pulled back overnight and tested the aforementioned 38.2% retracement once again this morning - this time as a support. A point to note is that the recovery move launched on Thursday last week is exhibiting a clear uptrend structure with higher highs and higher lows. Having said that, the base case scenario looks to be for the upward move to continue.
