FTSE 100 makes yet another record high

The FTSE 100 made yet another record high, getting ever closer to the psychological 8,500 mark as investors are eagerly awaiting the US CPI print. Upside pressure will be maintained while the April-to-May uptrend line at 8,432 underpins on a daily chart closing basis. This uptrend line may be revisited, however.

DAX 40 nears its record high

The DAX 40 once again nears its new record high, made last week around the 18,850 mark, a rise above which would engage the minor psychological 19,000 mark.

Immediate upside pressure should remain in play while Tuesday’s low at 18,623 underpins.

Minor support above this level can be found at Friday’s 18,712 low and at the previous record high, made in April at 18,636.
