Above 8534 lies the 8600 region while the May peak at 8479 is expected to offer support ahead of the major 8419 to 8372 support area, made up of the July to December highs.

CAC 40 approaches July peak
The CAC 40 has seen a strong rally over the past three days, mimicking its European counterparts, and is about to hit its 7742 July peak. Together with the 7813 September high it may act as considerable resistance, though, at least this week.
Potential slips may find support around the 7694 August peak or the 7644 mid-October high. Further potential support is seen along the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) at 7592.
