LONDON — European stocks are expected to open broadly higher on Monday in the first trading day of the new year.

Germany’s DAX is seen opening 43 points higher at 15,887, France’s CAC 40 up 14 points at 7,164, Italy’s FTSE MIB 53 points higher at 27,191, according to data from IG.

 

Markets in the U.K. and Ireland and closed for the new year holiday, which means trading volumes in the region could be thinner on Monday.

The likely positive start for Europe comes after more choppy trade in Asia overnight, where shares were mixed on Monday. Some major markets in the region (namely Australia, mainland China and Japan) were also closed Monday for a holiday.

Trading in the shares and structured products of debt-ridden Chinese developer China Evergrande Group was halted in Hong Kong, according to an exchange notice. No immediate reason was given for the suspension.

Meanwhile, U.S. stock futures rose on Sunday evening as Wall Street looked to start off 2022 on a solid footing.

The new year starts with continued uncertainty around the Covid-19 pandemic, however. The rise of the omicron variant helped lead to thousands of flight cancellations during the holiday season and has led some businesses and schools to consider temporary closures. Several major Wall Street banks have asked employees to work from home for the first few weeks of January.

 

Infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci told ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday that U.S. health officials may soon update guidelines to include a testing recommendation to signal when a person who previously tested positive for Covid can leave isolation.

Inflation and monetary policy are also expected to be key themes for 2022, as investors expect the Federal Reserve to hike rates multiple times in the coming year to help cool the rise in prices for consumers.

Data releases include final purchasing manager’s index data for the euro zone in December and new car registrations in Spain, Belgium and Denmark for December.

    • The poor performance of Chinese stocks continues, with the Hang Seng down sharply overnight, bucking a slightly more positive session for Asian markets. Previous Fed hawk Christopher Waller made waves by hinting that the Fed might begin to cut rates relatively soon if the decline in inflation continued, in order to engineer its much-vaunted 'soft landing' for the US economy. This gave risk appetite a lift in what was otherwise a generally quiet session. Australian inflation came in below forecasts, though the New Zealand central bank warned markets that more hikes could still be on the table if inflation did not ease. German inflation, the second estimate of US Q3 inflation and weekly EIA oil inventories are on the calendar for the day.

Wave Cancel invalid level:1.30878 The "USD/CAD Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge Day Chart" dated 29 November 23, delves into a detailed analysis of the U.S. Dollar/Canadian Dollar (USD/CAD) currency pair using Elliott Wave principles. This analysis is focused on a day chart, offering insights into longer-term trends and corrective movements. The primary "Function" identified in the analysis is "Counter Trend," suggesting a focus on potential reversals or corrective movements against the prevailing trend. The current "Mode" is classified as "corrective," indicating that the market is currently undergoing a correction rather than a strong, impulsive move. The specific "Structure" being examined is "blue wave C of black wave B." This indicates a meticulous exploration of the ongoing correction within the broader structure of black wave B. The identified "Position" is "black wave B," highlighting the larger degree wave within the Elliott Wave structure. This implies that the analysis is centered on a correction within a broader upward trend. The directional guidance for "Next Higher Degrees" is "black wave C," signaling that the broader corrective structure is expected to continue with the development of black wave C after the completion of blue wave B. Regarding "Details," the analysis notes that "Blue wave B looking completed at 1.37679," suggesting that the corrective wave at the lower degree (blue wave B) is potentially reaching its completion point. Additionally, "blue wave C of black wave B is in play and near to end between fib level 50.00 to 61.80." This indicates an expectation of the final stages of the corrective move within the specified Fibonacci retracement levels. The "Wave Cancel invalid level" is set at 1.30878, serving as a crucial reference point. This level acts as a guide for potential invalidation of the current wave count, providing traders with a key level to monitor for confirmation or reversal signals.
