Macron wins

4:08 pm PST. Macron won the French election and the Eur/Usd popped higher, which I thought might be a risk at last Friday’s close, but then quickly dropped. I think this could be a high at 1.10218. Likewise the dollar dropped and quickly popped back up. I think the dollar likely finished the bottom of the wedge. Great call Marty! Your call will be confirmed once the Euro heads down to new lows.

Eurozone stocks

1:20 pm PST. I saw nearly 1 million shares block traded on EZU, the eurozone stocks etf, at 40.78 & 41.09. It could have been someone buying at 40.78 or selling at 41.09, or buying at both, or taking profits at both. We closed above both prints.

Closing Thoughts

1:05 pm PST. The Euro closed strong along with European stocks. I am not sure the Euro will tank, but it does look overbought and has gone up on negative divergence. The Dollar closed weak on positive divergence. U.S. indices closed strong. They look good for Monday. DB looks like it also wants to pop higher on Monday.

The Dow

8:57 am PST. The Dow is just in a tight 43-point range this morning. It’s coiling with traders looking forward to the French elections this Sunday to move markets. The close today will have clues…perhaps.
