It is Thursday, September 4. The AEX is at 891 in the morning session. That is 16 points (1.75%) lower than last week's reading.
What happened on the AEX in the past week?
The AEX is having a moderate week. It started faintly at 898 on Monday and experienced the low on Tuesday at 883. This is technical support and the index recovered nicely to 892. Tuesday's decline was mainly driven by falling bond prices and thus rising interest rates in Europe.
What does this mean for sentiment on the AEX?
Underlying sentiment on the AEX is moderately positive.
What is the outlook for the AEX?
The longer-term expectation is positive. In the most likely scenario of our algorithm, the AEX is going to rise to the price target 1,050. But our system does set a hard stoploss for the buy position at a close below 880.
In this situation, the positive scenario expires for now and the AEX falls into a neutral zone with an increased risk of further decline. As long as 880 holds, the positive scenario remains in force.
