Risk Sentiment
Source: Bloomberg, Markets and Products Analysis
Risk off sentiment is evident in the Eurozone. The increase of Eurozone government bond yields has been negative for risk
taking. Greek issue remains undecided.
In the short term, event risk for Eurozone stock markets is high (both to the downside & to the upside), linked with the
evolution of the Greek issue.
US stock market is consolidating and probably entering corrective mood. The stronger likelihood that the Fed will hike the
benchmark rate in September, has contributed to some profit taking in US market.
Monetary easing bias by some major Central Banks, may be supportive for risk sentiment in the future.

USD/JPY has broken upwards the tight range trading mode observed until end-May.
7
S&P 500
S&P 500 index posted historic high
(intraday: 2,134.7) on May 20. The index
is currently lower versus the historic high
by almost 1.8% at 2,096 level.
Daily trend indicators (MACD, ADX/DMI)
suggest that the index is probably
entering correction phase in the short
term.
Support for the index at the area of
2,072 (9/6/15 low), at the area of 2,048
(200 days MA) and at 2,015 (Fibonacci
retracement 38.2%: 1,820.7-2,134.7).

appears in range trading for the 3-month
horizon. The lower bound of the weekly
Bollinger Bands is at the area of 2,030,
while the upper bound is placed at the
area of 2,150.
Despite short term correction and mid
term range trading, long term upwards

20% lower from the high of 10/4/15).

indicators. Resistance at the area of
12,390 (historic high).
9

mid-term (3-month time horizon), as

(55 days MA and 19/5/15 low) and at
19,468 (12/5/15 low).

placed at the area of 22,485 (Fibonacci
retracement 76.4%: 27,270.33-
6,994.9).
10
EUR/USD
EUR/USD is into range trading mode

DMA).

$1.1000 (short term support trend
line) and at $1.0800 (27/5/15 low and
61.8% Fibonacci retracement:
$1.0458 - $1.1467).
In the medium term downwards trend
remains intact. Significant support in
medium term is found at the area of
$1.00 (76.4% Fibonacci retracement:
$0.8230-$1.6038 and support
downwards trend channel).
11

high & 50% retracement: 2.09% -
0.05%) and at 1.31% (61.8%

0.60% (200 DMA) and at 0.474%
(1/6/15 low).
13
