The German DAX is currently gaining 1.3%, while the French CAC40 is adding 0.90%. The most important macroeconomic data for today are the PMI data from the industrial sector for the world’s main economies.

The German DE40 index is gaining 0.35% today on an intraday basis and is defending a key technical support point, marked by the 50-day EMA (blue line on the chart) and the local minimum of the consolidation from the turn of February and March. The key to analyzing further potential index behavior may be the element of further demand and supply behavior for the current zone (maintaining above or returning below the zone). Source: xStation
