Sophie Altermatt, economist at Julius Baer, ​​believes that “despite the strong economic backdrop, the uncertainty about the economic and political outlook remains greater than usual.” So, he says, markets are looking for clues about the Fed.

Apart from the doubts seen at the start of the week, the most remarkable thing from a technical point of view is to see how the EuroStoxx 50 managed to stay above the highs of last June at 4,165 points, but still below the growing resistance that runs for 4,200 / 4,250 points, “which we understand is difficult to overcome in a sustainable way”, explains Joan Cabrero, strategist at Ecotrader .
