Closing changes:
Stoxx 600 -1.0%
German DAX -1.3%
UK FTSE 100 -0.1%
French CAC -2.7%
Italy MIB -2.9%
Spain IBEX -0.9%
This was the worst week in the Stoxx 600 since October. Does this trend-break matter? A 50% retracement of the rally since October would be a 6.6% decline from here.
Meanwhile, the CAC 40 has already retraced 50% of the gain since October and the question is whether it makes a round trip.
The first round of the French election is June 30 and the second round on July 7 — that’s 15 trading days.
