The German index rallied significantly during the day on Wednesday as fears from Italy have unwound a bit, and it looks as if we may be able to avoid a fresh round of elections. Any sense of certainty coming out of Rome will continue to lift European stocks overall, and we have seen the worlds indices react positively during the day.
The German index rallied significantly during the trading session on Wednesday, breaking above the vital €12,750 level. The market has formed a bit of a bottoming pattern and looks as if it will continue to be a “by on the dips” situation if we can continue to get Italians to play nice with each other. Ultimately, I think that this is the first place money goes looking to invest in the European Union, so it makes sense that we have seen a return to this level and capital flowing into the German markets.
I recognize that the €13,000 level above will be important, and I recognize that it will be a very noisy and difficult markets to deal with. I like the idea of going long in adding as the trade works out in our favor, and I believe that the market continues to find reasons to go higher, unless of course something drastic happens in Italy, which of course can’t be ruled out. As I record this market, the DAX is up 1.4%, a nice move indeed for the day. However, we have sold off so drastically that I think this bullish action could last for several days in a row, unless of course we get those negative headlines coming out of Italy that could cause major issues. Until then, I remain bullish of this market, but cautious about my position size.
