It reflects the dynamics of the European stock indices towards the euro. PCI may fall in case of correction in the European stock markets.<\/p>\n<p>The main reason for the downtrend correction in Eurozone is the global negative trend. It may show itself at the US stock exchanges if investors decide that the implementation of the economic reforms by the newly elected US president Donald Trump may be hindered. The reforms are aimed at supporting the manufacturing companies. The US stocks were advancing ahead of the reforms. The first step shall be the revocation of Obamacare medical program after the voting in US Congress this Thursday. If Congressmen support the Trump\u2019s initiative, the stock market may start correcting. Worsened economic indicators may be additional negative for Eurozone. The trade balance in eurozone in January 2017 was negative for the first time in recent 3 years. This made the positive current account balance (NSA) in Eurozone also to fall in January to 3-year low. The investigation into the actions of the Dutch bank ING may lead to the same substantial fines as which received Deutsche Bank and Volkswagen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: none;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ifcmarkets.com\/uploads\/images\/22-03-2017.png\" alt=\"Indices-EU\" width=\"660px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"emailSummary\">On the daily chart <b>Indices-EU: D1<\/b> has previously hit a 18-month low. Now it is struggling to correct down. Its further decline is possible in case of negative news from Europe and lower global indices.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"emailSummary\">\n<li>The <b>Parabolic<\/b> gives bullish signals which may also serve the additional level of support.

This level may serve the point of entry. The initial stop-loss may be placed above the last fractal high and the 18-month high at 9250. Having opened the pending order we shall move the stop to the next fractal high following the Parabolic and Bollinger signals. Thus, we are changing the probable profit\/loss ratio to the breakeven point. The most risk-averse traders may switch to the 4-hour chart after the trade and place there a stop-loss moving it in the direction of the trade. If the price meets the stop-loss level at 9250 without reaching the order at 9050, we recommend cancelling the position: the market sustains internal changes which were not taken into account.<\/p><div id=\"inves-2202967255\" class=\"inves-in-content inves-entity-placement\"><hr style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n<div id=\"inpost_ads_header\">\r\n<p style=\"font-size:10px; float:left; color:#666;\">Free Reports:<\/p><\/div>\r\n<div id=\"inpost_ads\"> \r\n<p style=\"font-size:15px; float:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/1ApBOV\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/investmacro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/graph_techs_PD.png\" align=\"left\" width=\"80\"  height=\"55\"\/><\/a>\r\n\t     <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/1ApBOV\"><b><u>Get Our Free Metatrader 4 Indicators<\/u><\/b><\/a> - Put Our Free MetaTrader 4 Custom Indicators on your charts when you join our Weekly Newsletter<\/p><br><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<p style=\"font-size:15px; float:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/f3RrHX\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/investmacro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cot_pie_80.png\" align=\"left\" width=\"80\"  height=\"55\"\/><\/a>\r\n\t    <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/f3RrHX\"><b><u>Get our Weekly Commitment of Traders Reports<\/u><\/b><\/a> - See where the biggest traders (Hedge Funds and Commercial Hedgers) are positioned in the futures markets on a weekly basis.<\/p><br><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<hr style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n<br><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"emailSummary\" style=\"margin-top: 15px !important;\">Summary of technical analysis<\/h2>\n<table style=\"border: solid 1px black;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"left\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><b>Position<\/b><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">Sell<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><b>Sell stop<\/b><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">below 9050<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><b>Stop loss<\/b><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">above 9250<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Market Analysis provided by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ifcmarkets.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">IFCMarkets<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By IFCMarkets European indices may follow the US ones In this report we consider studying the personal composite instrument (PCI) European stock indices.
