Interesting Observations on European Equity Markets

(Not a recommendation yet: Place on the radar screen)

Seasonal influences of European equity markets turn higher at this time of year. Their strength relative to the S&P 500 Index is starting to turn positive. The European Central Bank is expected to add monetary stimulus at its next meeting in mid-March.

Headline reads, “Time to buy oil”? Following is a link:

Keith suggests that WTI crude oil is becoming interesting from a technical and seasonal perspective and should be put on the radar screen. Tech Talk agrees. A favourable seasonal and technical comment was offered in the February 23^rd edition of this report with Crude Oil at $33.39 when strength relative to the S&P 500 Index turned positive. Technical buying is triggered on a move above $34.82 when a base building pattern is completed.
