The global markets were anxious by the action of the 200-day moving averages and their reference points to the global equity markets. As of writing, the DAX, SPOOS and CAC have joined the others that began the week below their 200-days. The NASDAQ 100 futures index is struggling to hold support on the vaunted moving average, currently at 4381.01 on the CQG daily continuation chart. While equity markets have swooned, gold and silver found buyers as investors have momentarily sought refuge from what has been the great haven of the last three years: Large cap, high dividend stocks combined with a growth piece have provided the consummate investment vehicle for investors leaving the REPRESSIVE returns from low-risk credit markets. While volume has been low in typical summer fashion, the breakdown in favored moving averages and strength indicators suggests there is definitely nervousness in global equity markets.
