Summary: European equities fight to keep bullish momentum staying above support levels. Danish equities depressed
DAX
DAX opened this morning below support at 15,724 but is at the time of writing back above. That is the second day in a row sellers have tried to push the index below the support. However, the Index needs to close above 16,090 to resume uptrend.
GER40 CFD/ DAX Future
It is clear that also for the GER40 CFD/Future that 200 SMA is important support area. For DAX to resume bullish trend a move above 16,090 is needed.
OMX C25 Cap
OMX C25 Cap has not had a good start to the new year. Heavy selling almost every single day pushing the Index below support at around 1,800. Bottom fishers are now trying to move the Index back above the now resistance at 1,800.
On the weekly chart we can see why 1,800 is so important . A close below is likely to fuel further sell off down to around 1,700
AEX
755 is the crucial support for Amsterdam AEX Index. The Index seem tot be range bound between 755 and 810. Break out from that range is needed for direction.
CAC 40
Bull/Bear fight going on around the Pivotal price level 7,141. 7,105 seems to be the short term support CAC 40 needs to hold. A close below could fuel a sell off down to test the rising trend line and potentially to 6,750. Above 7,250 uptrend will likely resume.
SMI
Swiss SMI Index broke bearish out of rising wedge pattern approaching support at around 12,411. A close below can fuel a sell off down to strong support area around 12,100-12,000.
AI: The good, the bad, and the bubble
While a deep recession may not be iminent thanks to central bank policy, interest rates will have to stay high for longer, and this will be accompanied by volatility risk from the unwinding of bubbles, especially within AI.
Steen Jakobsen,
Chief Investment Officer
The emergence of advanced AI systems is by far the most surprising event this year, turning everything upside down, while risks and benefits are debated. AI will also become an arms race between the US and China.
Peter Garnry,
Head of Equity Strategy
As China navigates global fragmentation, its cycle of technology application, productivity enhancement, and growth is threatened by US breakthroughs in generative AI, limited computing power, and geopolitical tensions.

Japan’s expertise in semiconductors and robotic integration could be the foundation of AI dominance. Combining two of this year's themes, Japanese equities and artificial intelligence, brings a wave of opportunities.

The AI fever has turned the technology into a darling, pushing crypto further into no-man’s-land. There are striking similarities between AI and crypto, and if these are to come full circle, AI won't be spared for bubbles.
Mads Eberhardt,
Cryptocurrency Analyst
Stocks related to artificial intelligence (AI) have appeared on investors' radars. Expectations are high, but it may be necessary to consider how to get exposure to AI in a diversified way.
Hans Oudshoorn,

The USD is on its back foot as markets celebrate an eventual Fed rate peak and steady long US yields. The stakes are even higher for the Japanese yen if longer major sovereign yield curves have to price in economic acceleration.
John J. Hardy,
Head of FX Strategy
While commodities, broadly speaking, have faced some tough months, a partial reversal during June could signal that the asset class is getting back on its feet with energy holding up and precious metals with upside potential.
Ole S. Hansen,
Head of Commodity Strategy
As inflation remains high central banks face hard decisions about whether they should keep hiking interest rates or stop. Meanwhile, the rise of AI creates bubble-like conditions that only make the decision harder.
