vers van de pers:

Economic Data presented a Choppy Week of Trading.


The major stock indices and currency pairs presented volatile sessions last week, as economic data had a major impact on investor’s confidence. The broader market sold off during the week as the S&P 500 dropped by 0.63% or 6.4 points. The selloff, which accelerated on Friday, due to the U.S’s inflation figures, managed to find support on the psychological level of 1000, to finish at 1004. By taking a glance at the chart below one can see that even though the first wave has seemed to have finished, one must note that wave two could be characterized by a minor ranging trend, below major resistance.
