Wall Street hovers near Friday lows

The Wall Street index attempted to rally yesterday but was beaten back from the highs of the day. So far it continues to hold just above the lows of last week.

A close back above 43,700 might help to suggest a low has formed and might allow the price to push on towards 45,000. Further declines would head towards the rising 200-day simple moving average near 42,500.

Germany 40 higher after volatile Monday

​While the Germany 40 index did rally early yesterday, it was unable to hold its gains.owever, a new attempt to push higher has begun today, and a close back above 22,500 would then clear the price for a push back to the record highs of last week just below 23,000.

Last week saw selling pressure run out of momentum at 22,100, so a close below this is needed to indicate a new leg lower has begun.
