The DAX 40 is trading the best part of 1% lower in early European trade, hampered by heavy losses in the NASDAQ 100. The top 10 constituents of the NASDAQ 100, by market weighting, all registered hefty losses last night, sending the index down by nearly 2.5%. The tech index is currently down another 0.75% in Europe.

While the Nasdaq chart remains positive for now on a longer time frame, with a multi-month set of higher highs and higher lows in place, a break below the 15,500 area of prior support may see short-term losses deepen as we head into the end of the year. Traders should also be aware that today is a quarterly ‘quadruple witching’ Friday when stock index futures, stock index options, stock options, and single stock futures expire simultaneously. This is likely to lead to volatile swings today.

The latest German IFO release (December) warns that ‘the deteriorating pandemic situation is hitting consumer-related service providers and retailers hard’. The IFO business climate index fell to 94.7 from 96.6 in November as ‘companies assess their current business situation as less positive’ while pessimism regarding the first half of 2022 also increased. The IFO Institute ended, ‘the German economy isn’t getting any presents this year’.
