Big buyer supporting the DAX into the close yesterday, came back 100 pts lower today.

Quote from frank_london:

The German market (DAX) is by far the largest pure ECB market. The only other one of even mentionable size is the CAC. The German market leads Europe and influences US equities i.e. If the DAX were down 400 pts the DOWwould be down 600+

CAC is also pretty big and Eurostoxx is the main indicator for us markets, much more correlated. Why let the eurostoxx plummet with the s&p and only hold up the dax in such an obvious manner...
 
Quote from frank_london:

About half the euro stoxx index ( market cap.) is made up of non ECB components.

This is completely false, if you are talking about share location, it may be true if you are talking about Siemens income coming from outside EU etc.

Only elements in the FESX that are non ECB are Nokia and a handful of tiny Swiss stocks... Haven't looked it up in a while but used to be

35% german
32% frendh
12% spanish
11% dutch
5% nokia
rest is swiss italian and alied irish
 
Wow just looked it up again here is the new weighting...

32% french
27% german
14% spanish
12% italian
10% dutch
4% nokia
1% alied irish

You are correct I was wrong. I was thinking of one of the S&p eurpoean indices, that had had half it weighting from london equities. I had my head up my ass I should've confirmed before I posted. Thank you for the correction. I guess i need to rethink my hypothesis.

No worries..didn't mean to come over as hostile as i did (rereading my own post)

DJ Stoxx 50 index (as opposed to Eurostoxx 50) is what you are thinking of.

Adios
 
Seems like after a couple of normal days she is back... Seems like most European indices set new lows and the Dax feels ready to break to the upside.
 
So has anyone got a theory on the buying yet?
Its really really huge. Even though less apparent now with a smaller iceberg its still holding most indices up.
 
the big question is, where will he close all those contracts...
i have no idea...
just going long slightly above 7450 and selling around 7457.50, stop 7439.50
