If we look at the ECB's interest in trying to relax rate policies this has been clearly reflected in the DAX (Ticker AT: Ger40) the biggest beneficiary of such policies in Europe. On the chart we can currently see a progressive climb since June 14 in the index looking for a recovery towards the highs. The range trend taken since the beginning of the year continues to be respected. It remains to be seen whether monetary policy will be supportive after the summer, but for the time being the Frankfurt spread is in the 18,600 point zone and with a trading bell shape that heavily weights the 18,000 point zone and an RSI with buy exhaustion signals at 72.20%. It would not be unusual to see a return to the mean before the end of the summer.
