The appreciation of the European common currency was one of the under-performance factors of European equities against the US, as well as the poor performance of more cyclical sectors. To this contrast of factors added the fact that the main European indices are facing significant resistance zones (DAX 10400; CAC 4600/4633), with various technical indicators at extreme levels. The current situation of European indices deserves to be followed with caution.

On Wednesday EUR/USD was trading lower at 1.1322. The euro walked away from its one-week high and is suffering a lack of bullish strength. The pair stepped back from the resistance at 1.1407 and if bears bring sufficient power, a test of the support at 1.1232 is very possible.

The Earnings Season continues to be marked by the ease with which companies are overcoming, in terms of profits, analysts’ estimates. More important and more worrying is the fact that the companies that exceeded analysts’ estimates provide very cautious outlook for the future.

As China toggles between structural reforms and Keynesian stimulus, there will be moments of calm between the storms. It seems we are in between storms.

On Wednesday session the euro managed to add nearly 30 pips against the US dollar to a closing price of 1.1295. Levels at 1.1339 (100-day moving average) tightened the further growth of the pair, while the lowest point was marked at 1.1256. Index relative strength is climbing and suggests positive attitudes. A break of yesterday's high would give a good chance for further increase.

Asian indices closed with sharp falls, especially the Nikkei, because the Bank of Japan (BoJ) have not changed the general lines of monetary policy. In the market there was some expectation that the BoJ would reduce the reference rate (currently at -0.10%) or increase its quantitative easing program (currently in M.USD 720,000 / year). However, the BoJ did not alter the main lines of its policy. BoJ reduced the its projections for GDP and inflation.

Some critics say low rates are a mistake that could trigger an asset bubble or inflation.

Asian indexes closed mostly up, after the Reserve Bank of Australia has lowered key interest rates by 0.25% to 1.75%. This decision has overshadowed the fall of Caixin PMI index, which measures the manufacturing activity in China. In April, this index fell from 49.7 to 49.4, against the 49.9 estimated. Interestingly, the Shanghai stock market was among the best performers while the Hong Kong stock market closed with losses of more than 1%. The Japanese market was closed, having started the Golden Week. Apart from today (Constitution Day), in the next two days will be celebrated two holidays: the Environment Day and Children’s Day.

In addition to the negative effect on the Nikkei and the Japanese export sector, it is important to note that the Yen is considered an haven asset and its assessment could mean that the forex market is to consider some risks that are not immediately obvious.

The main event of the Asian session was the publication of the Index Caixin PMI (published by Markit) concerning services. The activity of this sector fell from 52.2 to 51.8, confirming the decline already marked by the official index of the Chinese Government. Despite this setback, the services sector (almost exclusively dependent on domestic consumption) has shown a strong resilience to industry weakness and public investment.

In recent weeks, Greece and other European countries have not been able to sketch an agreement to allow unlock tranches of financial support program. According to the statements of some European leaders, such support may not be available without Greece adopts new austerity measures. Recall that late last week a significant part of the country was paralyzed by a general strike of 48 hours.

People are slightly less risk averse now than they were end of April, still, the optimism is a little premature. Economic data hasn’t been very convincing.

The growth rate expected to be 1.71% for the US,doesn't inspire confidence.
