The negative mood comes as US futures are also bleeding badly with S&P 500 futures down 1.1% with tech shares leading losses as Nasdaq futures are down 1.4%. That’s putting a more risk averse mood to broader markets with the Japanese yen holding firmer as the aussie and kiwi sag in the major currencies space.

đź’ˇ DMK Insight
European markets are feeling the heat, and here’s why that matters: a 1% drop across major indices signals growing investor anxiety. With the DAX down 1.5% and the CAC 40 following closely, traders should be wary of potential cascading effects. The negative sentiment is mirrored in US futures, particularly the S&P 500, which is down 1.1%, indicating that tech shares are leading the charge in this downturn. This could suggest a broader risk-off sentiment that might spill over into other asset classes. Watch for key support levels in the DAX around recent lows; a break below could trigger further selling pressure. Keep an eye on the correlation with tech stocks, as their performance could dictate the pace of recovery or further decline in European markets. Here’s the thing: while the immediate outlook looks grim, it could also present buying opportunities if prices reach attractive support levels. But be cautious—volatility is likely to remain high in the short term, so monitor the market closely for any signs of stabilization or further deterioration.
đź“® Takeaway
Watch the DAX for key support levels; a break below could lead to increased selling pressure across European markets.
