Dow, NASDAQ 100 and DAX make gains in early trading
While the Dow and DAX are making early gains, the NASDAQ 100 has steadied after Microsoft’s results caused it to drop to a two-month low.
Dow recovery goes on
The Dow Jones index continues its recovery, with the smaller weighting of tech stocks acting for now as a help, rather than the hindrance it has been for most of the year.
After recovering back above 40,000 last Friday the price has made further headway, and now the 41,000 level and the record high from earlier in July are back in sight.
A close back below last week’s low at 39,800 would be needed to negate the short-term bullish view.
NASDAQ 100 steady after Microsoft earnings
The NASDAQ 100 index managed to rebound from its low yesterday evening, which it hit in the wake of results from Microsoft.
Once more it has bounced from the 18,000 zone and has risen back above 19,000. However, with Meta earnings and the Federal Reserve (Fed) decision tonight, and results from Apple and Amazon tomorrow, the index is unlikely to have seen the end of volatility for the week.
It still appears to be forming a higher low, maintaining the broader uptrend and suggesting that we could see a further recovery once key earnings are out of the way.
DAX pushes higher
After testing the waters below the 100-day simple moving average (SMA) yesterday, the DAX 40 index has made further gains, maintaining its overall move higher of the past two months.
Substantial gains have been hard to sustain, but an initial target is 18,600, followed by the July high at 18,750. Beyond this lies the May high at 18,935.
A close back below 18,100 would be needed to negate this bullish view.
