Charting the markets: 17 June
China's central bank maintained interest rates steady, contrasting with market anticipation for a cut due to poor lending figures.

Meanwhile, European markets reacted nervously to the French election's political uncertainty, notably affecting the Euro and stock indices like the CAC 40. Upcoming central bank meetings across Australia, Norway, the UK, and Switzerland are anticipated, especially with potential Swiss rate adjustments due to the robust Franc.
Technical analysis highlighted short-term downtrends in FTSE 100 and DAX 40. Future sessions are expected to monitor these trends closely, considering possible support and resistance levels and the broader implications of political changes on currency dynamics.
