by John Knobel

Trading Insights:

Increased expectations the US FED will cut interest rates helping to strengthen the case for buyers of stocks and stock indices  

Last hours to trade ahead of today’s key monthly American employment report (Non-Farm Payrolls – NFP) 

  • European stock index futures find support in overnight trading
  • German DAX price dropped -380 points last 5 days but finds support near the 50% August low – September high Fibonacci retracement level in a signal that buyers are willing to buy on the dips on bets that this recent selloff is part of a normal market correction and that the multi-year bull market will continue

Is the correction over for stock market investors and stock indices traders ?

Time to buy the dip?
