European equities start to see gains erode

DAX turns negative, Stoxx 600 turns flat on the day

Germany DAX

Trouble in paradise? Both were up by a little over 2% to start the European morning but we are seeing the market turn tail and run with USD/CHF slipping back close to 0.9600.
US futures have also seen gains from the early European morning peter out, with E-minis just up by ~0.5% currently. USD/JPY is also back lower now to 107.75 after having hit a high of 108.58 just two hours ago.
The market is still holding out hope for global central bank stimulus, but as highlighted here, it may not necessarily be the solution to dig investors out of the hole.

European shares extend higher on global growth hopes

Euro Stoxx 600 it’s 4 year high. 5th straight day of gains

The European major stock indices are closed and extending higher on global growth hopes.
The Euro Stoxx 600 index is trading at 4-year highs and is up for the 5th straight day of gains.
The provisional closes for other indices are showing:
  • German DAX, +0.8%. The close is the highest level since February 2018
  • France’s CAC, +0.3%
  • UKs FTSE is ending the session flat
  • Spain’s Ibex, +0.4%
  • Italy’s FTSE MIB, +0.6%

Yields are also higher as traders in global debt markets are also hoping global economies will get a boost on more cooperative US China relations.
